When Jesus most alway spent time teaching his disciples spiritual priniciples. The first deacons were called to practical service,but their qualifications were mainly spiritual. Act 6

In the old Testament the qualifications Moses required for men to assist him were also of a spirituat in nature.Also in today's world the first and about all in our walk with God no matter what our work is to be spiritual above all to seek the kingdom of God,and we all seek the kingdom of God. We must study and learn to know Christ through his word and let him grow in us that other's might see him in us,and gloryfy Jesus.

Matt.5:16

Some people never pickup the word of God or go to church the only time they see or feel Jesus is through you. Don't forget and hide him under a bussel but let Him shine in you first we must come unto him and drink this is done when you come to the Lord. Second he proclaimed "Streams of living water will flow from within.Jesus must flow from within each believer in the form of loving service to others. Sitting at his feet and learning of Him.
