"For even the Son of Man
did not come to be served, but to serve, and
to give His life a ransom for many."
Mark 10:45
It is an unfortunate
truth that people are often self-centered
and form habits that serve themselves,
sometimes even at the cost of others.
This is due to our sinful nature that
convinces us that serving ourselves is what
is best and will make us happiest.
However, as Christians, we are called to
live differently, not like the rest of the
world. Instead of looking to serve
ourselves, we should look to serve Jesus
Chris foremost as well as others.
Jesus is the perfect example of service
towards others. He came to the world
and rather than be served by others he
himself served others with kindness and
humility. From healing those who were
sick or possessed and washing the disciple's
feet to dying a gruesome death on the cross,
Jesus shows us what real love and the heart
of a servant truly looks like.
