A Servant of Jesus

Titus 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness

Paul, a great leader in the early church, well learned and experienced man of God, describes himself as a bondservant, a slave by choice, to Jesus Christ.  He had the correct understanding of his LORD.  I witness to many Christians seem as though they are the boss and Jesus is their servant.  Now, that last part is 100% true, Jesus is the Servant of servants yet He serves us out of His true sincere love for us.  
After all, Jesus came to serve and give of His life in exchange for ours.  Who am I to tell Jesus what to do.  After being filled with the Holy Spirit, I wanted to serve Jesus in every capacity available.  Whenever the opportunities presented themselves, I would never turn them down.  This got a little challenging later. I think this is very telling of the person Paul was!  Are you Jesus' Servant or do you call the shots?  It cant be both ways.
