Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28
Do we have a presumption of serving or being served ? John F. Kennedy's famous quote rings true: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." The religious world Jesus met assumed the King of Kings would come to be served, and they assumed they should be served as well. Jesus turned the tables on them, coming as a servant. He is our example. If we come to Jesus and to worship only to be served, we will soon become disinterested. As a servant, we will always find a new challenge and a new interest.
