". . . verily I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them" (Luke 12:37).
Can we imagine the Lord Jesus serving us in heaven? He serves us now!—when we get tired. He not only holds atoms together, but He holds our body together when we sleep "by Him all things consist," (Colossians 1:17). "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
He gives us food—like delicious eggs. He even packages them. The same is true for bananas, apples, oranges, watermelons, onions, nuts, etc. See Psalm 104:27-28.
He said, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2). He also fills our lives with gladness: "Nevertheless He left not Himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness" (Acts 14:17).
He served us when we were in our mother's wombs (Psalm 139:13-16) and serves believers at death: "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39).
He prays for us: "Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).
Serving is good because Jesus does it and has "given you an example, that ye should do as [He has] done to you" (John 13:15). He came not to be served, but to serve—and to give His life a ransom for many! PGH
