what are the qualities of a perfect servant of christ?

to answer this question I will turn to john 2:1-11 as a guiding scripture.  most people see this as simply the first miracle of Jesus - and it is, but it is so much more.  let us look at the role of the servants in this scripture - 

when mary tells the servant to listen and do as Jesus says - they do, without question and without fear.  there was not disputing, or comments behind Jesus' back -

look at verse 7 - Jesus tells the servants to "fill the jars" and they fill them to the brim.  this is the first quality of a good servant of Christ.  do what Jesus asks, and do it to your best.  the servants could have filled the jars half way - but they were good servants and listened.

the second thing we need to keep in mind as a good servant is to not argue - in verse 8 when Jesus tells the servants to "dip some out" they did.  they did not comment on how crazy it sounded - they acted by faith.

a good servant is one that is willing to trust in God's word, and follow it without fear and to the letter -
