On Service A government
surveyor came to a backwoods farm one day and promptly told the farmer
that he was going to survey his back pasture. The farmer said you can not
do that right now. The surveyor was angered, and he said, I am going to
survey right now. I’m from the government, it is my job, and I have the
authority. He pulled some papers from his brief case, and showed him his
official authority. The surveyor made his way to the pasture and started
to set up his equipment when he heard the snorting of a bull. He turned
around and found a big Brahman bull charging him. The surveyor started
running for his life. The farmer was up on the hill and he yelled at the
surveyor, “Show the bull your papers.” Grasping for
authority will put you into some predicaments. Jesus gave the greatest
example of how a person is to be promoted in life. That is to be a
servant-leader. If you want to
find greatness, learn the principles of servant hood.
