What does it mean to be a “servant”? Do most people try to be servants? Christ was the master when it came to serving others. He left us many scriptures teaching us about serving others. In Matthew chapter 8, verses 1-4 says, Vs1)“when he had come down from the mountains, great multitudes followed him. Vs2), and behold a leper came a worshipped him, saying, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean. Vs3), Then Jesus put out his hand saying, “I am willing; be cleansed. Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Vs4), And Jesus said to him, see that you tell no one, but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.
In those days leprosy was a horrible disease. When a person was afflicted with the disease, he/she would be forced out of the city, in an effort to keep the disease from spreading. Most people would have run from this man, but Jesus treated him just like a normal person. He showed compassion (his love) for this person’s physical state. He tells us in Matthew chapter 20, verse 28, “just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. As christians we are to serve others.
