My Satisfaction Looks Different

In Luke 22:24-27, Jesus teaches his disciples about the heart of a servant. He contrasts the worldly desire for power and greatness with the humility and availability required to serve others. Drawing inspiration from the anointing of David in 1 Samuel 16, we learn that determination can either drive us towards greatness or become dangerous if fueled by pride. The heart of a servant is characterized by humility, recognizing our limitations and surrendering to God's will. Availability is essential, not based on popularity, but driven by purpose. To live out the heart of a servant, we must demonstrate sacrificial love, faithfulness, and patience in our daily lives. By adopting these virtues, we can truly follow the example set by Jesus, who came to serve and not to be served.
