Serving Others as Christ Did

Jesus came not to be served but to serve. As His followers, we are called to imitate His example by serving others with humility and love.

Why Service Matters

Service is at the heart of the Gospel. Jesus taught:

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40

When we serve others, we serve Christ Himself.

Ways to Serve Others

1. Volunteer in Your Community

Help at a food bank, homeless shelter, or parish ministry. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

2. Offer Your Time

Be present for those who need support, whether through listening, mentoring, or simply being there.

3. Pray for Others

Lift up the needs of others in prayer, asking God to bless and guide them.

Biblical Examples of Service

• The Washing of the Disciples’ Feet – Jesus modeled humility and service. (John 13:1-17)
• The Good Samaritan – A reminder to help those in need, regardless of differences. (Luke 10:25-37)

A Prayer for Serving Others

Lord,
Help me to serve others as You served. Give me a heart full of compassion and humility, so that I may reflect Your love in all I do. Amen.

Closing Thoughts

Serving others is a tangible way to live out your faith. By following Christ’s example, you can bring His love and hope to the world around you.
