Jesus Served Humanity

Jesus demonstrated His love for humanity through service. He was the King who became a servant to all. The kind of humility that Jesus displayed was not just submissive; it was also sacrificial. He laid down His rights. He deserved to be served, but He served the undeserved.

Jesus was a different kind of leader. He was the essence of servant leadership. His service was grounded in love. He served in submission to God and with passion for humanity. He demonstrated this by removing His rabbinical garments, which symbolized His authority, and washed the disciples feet. He did for the disciples what is typically done by servants.

The love of Christ has been shown to us in His service to humanity.
