"Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (Matt. 20:26-28)

In a recent survey of 287 college students, nearly all of them expressed a desire for greatness; yet, very few perceived any connection between greatness and service. Jesus exemplified humble service by washing the disciples' feet. He said, "You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you." (John 13:13-15)

Let us follow in the steps of Jesus by serving others. Our humble service is what makes us great in the kingdom of God.
