MESSIAH WAS INDEED THE SERVANT OF GOD

      Jesus Christ himself denied not to be a servant to God, and to worship his creator. He always prayed to God as a humble servant and meek worshipper.

      It is narrated that once one of the learned Christian priests, named JAASILIGHargued with Hazrat Imam Reza (AS), about Godship of Jesus Christ. In order to pull the priest's leg, Hazrat Imam Reza said to him:- ``Jesus Christ was very good as a whole, and faultless in general, but unfortunately he had an evident frailty, and distinct weak point which was not found with any other apostle or saintly men!''

      The priest astonished to hear that, asked Imam:- ``and what was that fault of him ?!'' Hazrat Imam said:- ``That he performed no prayer! and did not worship at all!'' Jaasiligh protested angrily saying:- ``You are wrong in saying that; because Jesus Christ our lord, was the most devout worshipper of his time!'' Imam then asked him:- ``Whom did Jesus worship so devoutly? Did he worship any entity other than God?''

      (Christ's agony in his prayer to God, in the garden of Gethsemane is a show of human dignity, and self - humiliation in worship of God; where we read in Matthew 26:36 - ``Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called gethsemane, and he said to them:- ``Sit here while I go over there to pray.'' He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee. Grief and anguish came over, and he said to them: ``The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. Stay here and keep watch with me.'' Jesus went a little farther on, threw himself face downwards on the ground and prayed:- ``My Father! If it is possible take this cup of suffering from me. Yet not what I want, but what You want.''MATTHEW 26: 36-39 MARK 14: 32-42 LUKE 22:39-46   TRANSLATOR'S NOTE)
