The Joy of Serving

In a world that often equates greatness with power, influence, and recognition, Jesus flipped the script. He reminded His disciples that true greatness is found in serving others. Think about Jesus washing His disciples’ feet in John 13. The King of Kings stooped down to perform a task reserved for the lowest servant. Yet in that humble act, He taught us that service is not a burden but a joy—an expression of love. When we serve others—whether it’s helping a neighbor, encouraging a friend, or volunteering in ministry—we reflect Christ’s heart. Serving shifts our focus from self to others, and in that shift, we often discover joy, purpose, and fulfillment.
