What Jesus rightly deserved and what he received while here on earth were quite different
Jesus didn't resent or resist his role
He had a desire and compassion to help others
Greatest of humility and suffering for him to subject himself to the cruelest of deaths -
Philippians 2:8
People who have a major impact are the ones who serve
Nothing moves the human heart more than someone who puts the needs of another above his own need
It is a rare and precious expression of love
Jesus has called you and me to be like him and take on his attitude toward serving others
Jesus' serving was not limited to his friends (but also his enemies)
His people will do the simple acts of service for the "least" among us
Easier to serve someone on a schedule; more difficult if unexpected or interrupting my schedule
