The greatest among you will be your servant.
One of the most difficult principles to understand is Jesus' teachings about service. Jesus not only taught it, He lived it out. Jesus could have chosen to reign as a king. Instead, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, healed people, and, in the end, died for us.
This is a difficult teaching to emulate. It's unnatural for us to look to the needs of others when our needs seem so glaring. We put so much effort in meeting our needs and preparing for our futures. It's very tough to set that all aside for someone else.
Today, let's take 30 minutes to concentrate on serving the needs of others.
Humble yourself. (Matthew 23:12)
