To get to know his people better, he wore a disguise to mingle among them. One day he went as a poor man to public baths and sat by the fireman tending the furnace. At mealtime he shared his food and talked to the poor man as a friend. Again and again, he visited the fireman until the man grew to love him. Finally the emperor revealed his identity to the fireman. The emperor expected the fireman to request a gift of him, however he requested nothing. With love and wonder, the fireman declared, “You left your palace and glory to sit with me in this dark place, to partake of my coarse fare, and to care whether my heart was glad or sad. On others you may bestow rich presents, but to me you have given yourself.” Of course, we know a ruler far more benevolent than this Persian monarch. We know a ruler who left the ivory places of heaven to come and live among us (Psalm 45:8). We know a ruler who was clothed with flesh and took upon himself the form of a servant (Philippians 2:5-8). We know a ruler who became poor that we might be made rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). We know a ruler who was such a friend to us that He gave His life for us (John15:12-13). Of course, the great King of all is JESUS CHRIST! 17 Singles 3rd Thursday Session, 6:30-9:30 pm, away 18 WISDOM , away 18 CYP Dinner & Devotional, 7-9 pm ,away 18 Men’s Night Out, 7-10 pm, away 19 CG4 Bible Study, 1-3 pm, away 20 Men’s Bible Study, 4:30 -5:30 pm, Church Library 24 WINGS, 7-9 pm, away 25 Men’s Prayer Meeting, 6-7 pm, away 26 Education Ministry Leaders Mtg., 11 am – 1 pm, away 26 Sisters Prayer Circle, 9 – 10 am 27 CYP Sunday Worship Around Austin We Are So Excited!
