Seek To Be A Servant To The People

In a world where titles, positions, and recognition are often prized above all else, Jesus calls us to something higher—and yet humbler: to be a servant. In Mark 10:43-44, He says, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.”

1. Greatness in God’s Kingdom Looks Different

In God’s eyes, greatness isn’t measured by how many people serve you, but by how many people you serve. The path upward in the kingdom of God always begins by going lower—bending the knee, rolling up your sleeves, and putting others first.

2. Serving Is More Than Doing Tasks

Being a servant isn’t just about what you do, it’s about how you do it. True servants serve with humility, joy, and love, even when there’s no applause. They see every act of service—big or small—as an offering to the Lord.

“The measure of a man is not how many servants he has, but how many people he serves.”

3. Jesus: The Perfect Example

The King of Kings washed the dusty feet of His disciples (John 13:14-15). If the Son of God was willing to stoop so low to meet the needs of others, how can we refuse to do the same?

4. Eternal Impact of a Servant’s Heart

When you serve God by serving others, you leave an eternal mark. Your kindness may be forgotten by people, but it’s never forgotten by God. Hebrews 6:10 assures us, “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people.”

💭 Final Thought: Don’t chase the spotlight—carry the towel. In God’s kingdom, the servants are the ones who will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
