In Mark 10:45, it says, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
In a world where greatness is often defined by power and status, Jesus redefines true greatness through humble service. He is the King of kings, yet He chose the path of a servant. His entire ministry was marked by compassion, selflessness, and sacrificial love.
When Jesus washed His disciples’ feet, He wasn’t just performing a kind act. He was setting an example and showing us that leadership in God’s Kingdom is not about being first, but about putting others first.
Ultimately, Jesus’ greatest act of service was giving His life on the cross. In giving Himself as a ransom, Jesus paid the price for our sins so that we could be reconciled to God.
As followers of Christ, we are called to walk in His footsteps. We aren’t suppose to seek to be served, but to serve. Let’s being to serve others more this week. Whether in our homes, churches, or communities, we reflect Jesus most clearly when we love sacrificially.
I’m Praying For You!
