Verse from Mark

“因为人子来,不是要受人服事,而是要服事人,并且要舍命,作许多人的赎价。””
‭‭马可福音‬ ‭10:45‬ ‭

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:45‬ ‭

Many people treated Jesus like a celebrity as they followed Him from place to place, listened to His teaching, observed His miracles, and sought healing from His touch. Yet Jesus was never self-important or aloof, but available to all. When His followers James and John were privately jockeying for position in His coming kingdom, Jesus reminded all His disciples, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all” (Mark 10:43–44).

Soon after Jesus said this, He stopped a procession of people following Him to ask a blind beggar, “What do you want me to do for you?” (v. 51) “Rabbi, I want to see,” the man replied. He received his sight immediately and followed Jesus (v. 52).

May we, like Him, be compassionate and humble and willing to serve.
