Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor. 1 Peter 2:13-17 NIV

Your life’s spiritual honor and duty: Spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of Jesus Christ. That is the true meaning of being broken bread and poured-out wine.

Adapted, My Utmost For His Highest, Oswald Chambers (1874 – 1917)
