2 Corinthians 5:14-15

 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For the love of Christ constrains us because we have judged this, that One died for all, therefore all died; / and He died for all that those who live may no longer live to themselves but to Him who died for them and has been raised.
In this verse, Paul does not speak of living for the Lord, by the Lord or with the Lord; instead, he speaks of living to the Lord. To live to Christ is to take Him as the aim of our living. In everything we do - at home, at work, or in the church life - Christ should be our unique aim.

Christ: The Slave of God and Man

In the Gospel of Mark we get a clear view of Christ in His humanity and His divinity. In His human living Christ took the form of a slave, serving God and men. He was a slave not only to God but also to man. The Lord Jesus lived on earth as a slave.

Before moving on, we must not forget, and be reminded that Christ is God! Christ was God mingled with Man. 

Christ is God!
