Did Jesus serve people or His Father?

Did Jesus serve people or His Father?
If we ask this question to everyone many of ours answers will be “Jesus did serve His Father and not the people”.

But when we see the fact Jesus not only served His Father but also the people. But here we should be very watchful to understand the reality that Jesus never served the people primarily. All His service was done to the Father alone, even when He served people. And that is how we too must serve God.

Be cautious!
It is when we begin to serve people the temptations to compromise and to please people will eventually raise their ugly heads within us sometimes without our conscience and most of the times with our clear conscience.

Two types of ministries (Serving God & Serving People):
Even in the Old Testament, the Lord speaks of two types of ministers in His temple – symbolized by

1) The sons of Zadok
2) and the Levites in Ezekiel 44:9-19.

The sons of Zadok symbolize the wholehearted disciples (we) of Christ who are permitted “to minister to Him”.

The Levites symbolize the compromisers who are permitted only “to minister to the people”. There is a vast difference between these two types of ministries.

In His Kingdom:
Hence we must be very cautious while ministering for His Kingdom since we are all chosen to be the disciples of Jesus. And also like Jesus foremost we must minister (serve) to Him and by that we should serve people.
