Introduction: In a world seeking power and status, Jesus flips the script with servanthood.
1. Jesus exemplifies servanthood, as seen in Mark 10:45, by prioritizing others over himself.
A. Unlike earthly kings, Christ came to serve, setting a divine standard for discipleship.
B. His ultimate act of service was giving his life as a ransom, highlighting sacrificial love.
2. Our fallen nature seeks self-exaltation, contrasting sharply with the humility Christ modeled.
A. Human pride and selfishness hinder true discipleship (Proverbs 16:18).
B. Jesus' humility reveals the path to genuine transformation (Philippians 2:5-7).
3. Emulating Christ’s servant heart transforms lives and aligns us with God’s will.
A. Obedience through service reflects true discipleship and honors God.
B. By serving others, we fulfill God’s command to love as Jesus loved (John 13:34-35).
Conclusion: As we embrace a servant's heart, we mirror Jesus and impact the world for God's kingdom.
