12. Jesus is the Servant King

Mark 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.

We celebrate Christmas because we celebrate Jesus

came to serve us, not to be served
is our Servant King
reminds us by example, that humble service is the greatest (and only) prerequisite for leadership in His Kingdom

What a powerful example and challenge Lord.
Help me reflect your heart of humble service in all I do, especially this season for me with the Father.
