Preaching Sunday May 6, 2007. Pastor David Munoz
The word of God in the Old Testament establishes laws for slaves. Who had been bought as a slave should serve his master for six years and seventh year his master gave him freedom, however if he took the decision to stay out of love for his master, could do likewise his ear was pierced and was marked as your servant for life
If buy an Hebrew servant, serve six years, but the seventh will go free, for nothing.
If he came alone, just leave if he were married, he and his wife leave him.
If his master have given him a wife, and she born him sons or daughters, the wife and children shall be her master, and he shall go alone.
And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife and my children, do not go out free;
then his master will take you to the judges, and I will stand by the door or to the post, and his master bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
(Exodus 21: 2-6)
who have received the Holy Spirit God must serve God for life, for the word of God says that Jesus loved us to the end and let the comforter that is the Holy Spirit.
Why Jesus died for us? ... Because
bore the curse of sin to the cross, his sacrifice served to make any human being could enter God's presence. In ancient times, the high priest was the only one who could enter the presence of God through a ritual: the tempo was divided into the holy place and holy place, and what a place separated from the other was a thick veil, there only the high priest could enter and should do tied a rope as if he did not die while the ritual, and nobody could get him out, therefore not receiving God's favor.
Understanding that Jesus' death on the cross meant so much to humanity is not easy ... When Jesus died he did for love, was tried as a criminal, humiliated, whipped and crucified. When he died the earth shook, the temple structure was broken and the veil of Holy of Holies was torn, indicating that they could now access the presence of God freely and that all they asked the father, do so in the name of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel According to St. John: (John 13:1-6 ) describes one of the teachings of Jesus when he washed the feet of his disciples may now seem normal, and even ridiculous, but at that time wore sandals and feet were always dirty: in the traditions of the time Washing feet was the role of non-Jewish slaves, was a fairly degrading to anyone else. Jesus teaches us in this passage to be humble and serve without dissent, to serve love.
The titles given by men are useless when we are not reconciled to God: The bible says that knowledge puffs up but love edifies.
The enemy acts against the integrity of persons: Jesus when tempted by Satan and constantly stated if you are the son of God ... turn these stones into bread, cast thyself down: for it is written shall give his angels charge over you, and you hold in your hands ... And Jesus always answered with certainty: not only live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

UNSAFE FOR A PERSON TO SERVE YOU MUCH!
In the biblical Jesus told Peter: Do not ever wash my feet. Jesus replied: If you do not wash you, you will not part with me. Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and head.
In the biblical Jesus knew Peter's insecurity, of course knew that Judas would betray him and that Peter was going to deny.
What should be the attitude to please and serve God?
Our attitude towards God should be that of a slave who loves his Lord, we owe gratitude and are subject to their will.
EVERYTHING IS A GOD TO BE DEVOTED TO HIM AND ALL THAT IS DEDICATED TO GOD KEEPS THE ANOINTING.
How
serve God?
SERVE WITH FEAR (Psalm 2:11)
SERVE with joy (Psalm 100:2)
serve with humility (Acts 20:19)
SERVE WITH EVIDENCE (Acts 26:7)
SERVE WITH GRATITUDE (Hebrews 12 : 28)
Serving God is not to be somewhat coercive, as it should please Him with gratitude and with reverence and awe, sometimes launch violent words against God when we feel envy or resentment for the goods and wealth of people who serve God:
Your words have been violent against me, saith the Lord. And ye say, What have we spoken against you?
You said: It is vain to serve God. What profit is it that we keep His law, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
say, for now, Blessed are the proud, and those who work wickedness are not only prosperous, but to tempt God and escaped.
(Malachi 3:13-15)

We have to care
HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND SEE WHAT OTHERS DO OR HAVE! PURPOSES AS GOD HAS PROVIDED YOU AND HAS A SPECIAL PLACE AND A TIME to bless you.
