“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).
The Jews and perhaps others looked for an earthly king when Jesus came to earth. They must have been disappointed when this didn’t happen. Thank God that Christ was willing to humble Himself and take upon Himself the form of man so He could become our Savior and Redeemer. He paid the ultimate price to free us from the bondage of sin. Don’t let pride interfere with you ministering to others. Today’s verse can help you remember the standard of humility He set for us. We may not feel we measure up to it, but, it is one we must strive to live by. Ponder this phrase throughout your day, “He came to pay a debt He didn’t owe, because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay.”
