No, Mr. President...

John Kenneth Galbraith, a noted economist and confidant of President Lyndon Johnson, received a call at his home from the President.  His housekeeper, Emily, answered the phone.  President Johnson identified himself and asked to speak with Ken Galbraith.  Emily responded that he had asked not to be disturbed.  The President replied, “Wake him up.  I want to talk with him.”  The dutiful housekeeper answered:” No, Mr. President. I work for him, not you.”  Later, when Ken Galbraith returned President Johnson’s call, he told Ken he wanted Emily to come work for him at the White House.

Now as then, the general view of a servant is that he or she is a lowly person.  However, a good one brings pleasure to his employer.  Of His own account, Jesus stated that He did not come into our world to be served but rather to be a servant.  The Father Himself referred to Jesus as His “Beloved Servant.”
