Preaching the Sermon, with reference to the Readings for the day, the Rev.d Isaac Jackson said the prophecy of Isaiah took 700 years to be fulfilled, it was God's purpose to let Christ die for the rest of the world. Christ was innocent but became the Lamb of God to die in our place to make us acceptable to God. In fact Jesus gave up his life for the salvation of the world, and that should be our example as believers.
In Jesus' response to the request by the sons of Zebedee, James and John, for one of them to sit on Jesus' right and the other on his left in His Kingdom, Jesus emphasised the need for leaders or office seekers to first be servants.
Rev'd Jackson continued that because of Christ's selfless service, now at the name of Jesus every knee falls.
We should, as Christians, therefore give all we can for God's work. The selflessness of Christ has earned him the highest place in Heaven. He is indeed our example.
