“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45
He could have crushed the world between His fingers. He spoke to storms like a man talks to his dog—Quiet now—and the seas went still. Demons? They scrambled for cover when He showed up. The sick were healed, the blind saw again, and even death had to back down when Jesus called a name.
He had more power in His whisper than all the empires combined, and yet—He washed feet. That’s not weakness; that’s wild, untamed strength restrained by love.
In a world that snarls and snaps for dominance, where men hoard power like wolves over a carcass, Jesus flipped the whole game upside down. He walked in, calm as dawn, and made it clear: Greatness isn’t grabbing the highest seat—it’s kneeling at the lowest one.
The Servant-King came not to take, but to give. Not to be served, but to serve. And that wasn’t a pose. It wasn’t PR. It was the very marrow of who He was.
And then He walked to the cross.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that servanthood is soft. It takes more guts to lay down your life than to take someone else’s. It takes more fire to lift the burdens of others than to carry your own pride like a badge.
So, when you walk into your day—into the chaos of home, the grind of work, the noise of the world—walk like Jesus. Carry towels, not titles. Look for the broken and the overlooked. Ask not what this place owes you, but what you can pour out of yourself for the glory of God. Because the Lion of Judah came wrapped in the humility of a lamb—and He calls you to do the same.
That’s not just a calling; that’s an adventure!
