“I Am Among You As The One Who Serves”

A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

Luke 22:24-27

Have you ever felt like the servant of someone else?

Jesus did not have to wash His disciples feet, yet He did. There were servants who did that job, but Jesus chose to serve His disciples. Whatever position we are in, we can learn from our Savior to serve.

We all hold different roles as parents, children, friends, workers, leaders or students. Do we carry out each of these roles with an attitude of service? We should be thankful the Master will help us because we do want to follow His steps and willingly serve others.

We need a servant’s attitude to be like Jesus.
