“耶稣坐下，叫十二门徒来，对他们说：“谁想为首，就该作众人中最末的一个，作众人的仆人。””
马可福音 9:35
“Sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.””
Mark 9:35
In the gospel of Mark, He took a child in His arms to illustrate the importance of serving others, especially the most helpless among us (vv. 36–37).
Christ’s response resets the bar for what greatness looks like in His kingdom. His standard is a heart willing to care for others. And Jesus has promised that God’s empowering presence will be with those who choose to serve (v. 37).
As you have opportunities to serve in your family or community, be encouraged that Jesus greatly values the time and effort you give in service to others.
