“Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your
servant, and whoever wants to be the first must be your slave-just as the Son
of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom
for many.” Matthew 20:26-28

If anyone had a right to be
served, it was Jesus. Yet He didn’t come
to be served. He came to serve. If we are looking for a genuine model of success,
we will find it in Jesus. If we want to
have the success Jesus had, we will have to live like He did, as a servant. Who are we serving right now?
