The term is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, illustrating both human relationships and divine expectations. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "served" is עָבַד (avad), which can mean to work, to serve, or to worship. This term is frequently used to describe the Israelites' service to God, as well as their servitude under foreign powers. For example, in <a href="/exodus/1-14.htm">Exodus 1:14</a>, the Israelites "served" the Egyptians under harsh conditions: "They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their labor, the Egyptians used them ruthlessly." Service to God is a central theme, as seen in <a href="/joshua/24-15.htm">Joshua 24:15</a>, where Joshua challenges the Israelites: "But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." New Testament Context In the New Testament, the Greek word often translated as "served" is δουλεύω (douleuō), which means to serve as a slave or to be in bondage. This term is used to describe both literal and spiritual service. Jesus Christ exemplifies the ultimate servant, as seen in <a href="/mark/10-45.htm">Mark 10:45</a>: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." The apostle Paul frequently uses the concept of serving to describe the Christian life. In <a href="/romans/12-11.htm">Romans 12:11</a>, he exhorts believers: "Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord." This service is not merely an obligation but a joyful expression of faith and devotion. Spiritual Implications Serving God and others is a fundamental aspect of Christian discipleship. Jesus taught that true greatness in His kingdom is found in serving others, as He demonstrated by washing His disciples' feet (<a href="/john/13-14.htm">John 13:14-15</a>). This act of humility underscores the call for believers to serve one another in love. The Bible also warns against serving two masters, as seen in <a href="/matthew/6-24.htm">Matthew 6:24</a>: "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." This highlights the importance of undivided loyalty to God. Conclusion The biblical concept of "served" is multifaceted, encompassing both physical acts of service and spiritual devotion. It is a call to humility, obedience, and love, reflecting the character of Christ and the heart of the gospel.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Serve.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1247.htm">1247. diakoneo -- to serve, minister</a> ... do...the serving (1), employ...in serving (1), minister (3), ministered (2), ministering (3), servant (1), serve (4), serve as deacons (1), served (2), served ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1247.htm - 9k<a href="/greek/4972.htm">4972. sphragizo -- to seal</a> ... owner.
