"The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28). Jesus turned worldly notions of greatness upside down. In His kingdom, the path up is down.

When the disciples argued about who was greatest, Jesus took a towel and washed their feet - the task of the lowest servant. Then He said, "I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."

Humility isn't thinking less of yourself; it's thinking of yourself less. It's the posture that makes room for God to work. Pride says "I can handle this." Humility says "I need God and others." Jesus, though equal with God, humbled Himself. We are called to do the same.
