“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28 NIV
Jesus, the Son of Man, though fully God, chose the path of service and sacrifice. He did not seek human praise but came with a redemptive mission: to give His life out of love, redeeming many from the power of sin and death (Philippians 2:6–8).
This verse challenges our pride and personal ambitions. It reminds us that true leadership in the Kingdom of God is not about control, but humility and surrender. Serving, following Christ’s example, is not optional for the believer—it is a divine calling. He not only saved us through His sacrifice but also gave us a model to follow. To serve with love, expecting nothing in return, is to reflect the heart of our Savior.
