Luke 22:27  KJV  "For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth?  is not he that sitteth at meat?  but I am among you as he that serveth."

Interpretation based on the following study:  He is Supreme Majesty, having authority to rule and govern righteously, appointing even of His Son.  Servant given wholly to be in the Will of the Father to teach and minister.  No one but the Son is appointed and ordained to restore and renew.  Moreover, we belong in Him, joined to Him in a relation of participation and proximity.  For our sakes, in this manner, the Son gave up His own Will into that of the Father, to become His Servant, subject to His Authority, to teach and minister to us.
