Not a slave anymore

Wow, this was fun, just completed my last post like some few minutes ago, but I just had to share some revelation I got earlier today:

John the Baptist says about Jesus:
"I'm not even worthy to carry his sandals" - which the Living Translation very nicely puts it:
"But someone is coming soon who is far greater than I am--so much greater that I am not even worthy to be his slave."
WOW! John the Baptist said that. And he was a man who had left everything to be able to prepare the way for Jesus. And he didn't consider himself worthy to even be called Jesus' slave!

And then, Jesus calls his disciples friends. Not longer servants, but friends! How big is that??!
And then we're also called children of God. The Most High God, the Almighty one, the One that created the universe and the bumblebees, the One who is the only One worthy to receive praise, He calls us His Children!

Let us understand that, Lord! Let us see who we are in You! That we were adopted into your family, not being even worthy of being called the lowest possible of your servants, we have now been given the gift of being called the children of You, rightfully, because we believed and accepted you, Jesus! THANK YOU!
