What Did Jesus Say About Serving Others?
Jesus turned greatness upside down. In His kingdom, the way up is down, the greatest is the one who serves.
“But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
Jesus, in Matthew 20:26-28 · King James Version (public domain)
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
Jesus, in Matthew 25:40 · King James Version (public domain)
“If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.”
Jesus, in John 13:14 · King James Version (public domain)
