For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. — Mark 10:45, NIV
To answer the question of, Why should we have the heart of a servant? it is because God calls us to serve just as Jesus served us. Jesus was the ultimate example of a servant, because he not only served others but sacrificed his life for our salvation. We have the example of Jesus to look up to and model. By serving others, we reflect Christ’s love and bring glory to God.
It is through serving that we can experience the joy and fulfillment of living out our faith and spreading love and kindness to those around us. Embrace the call to serve and let every action reflect the love of Christ; you will then have the heart of a servant.
