Jesus Christ stands as the ultimate example of servitude, having given the most precious thing in all creation for our redemption. His life was willingly sacrificed by both the Father and the Son, providing forgiveness of sins and the opportunity for eternal life through grace. This tremendous cost demands a response from us; it is only logical and reasonable that we serve God with our lives in return for what He has done. As servants of Christ, we are called to live a life of service toward God and each other. Despite being sons and daughters of God, promised an inheritance of all things with Jesus Christ, we remain His servants because of our redemption. He bought us, He owns us, and thus we owe Him our labor in His work and His way. This service prepares us, as Jesus was prepared through His life of service, for eternal life and a position in God's Kingdom. Our Master, Jesus Christ, does not burden us with unbearable tasks. He provides abundantly, giving us only those responsibilities we can handle and promising to supply everything we need to fulfill what He asks. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light, reflecting His kindness, generosity, and helpfulness in guiding us as we serve Him.

God has blessed us with gifts, talents, and endowments, which we do not deserve, and He expects us to manage those gifts in a godly way. In Luke 12:35-41, Jesus Christ teaches through the Parable of the Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant, urging readiness and vigilance. He instructs that servants should be alert, with their lamps burning, waiting for their master's return from the wedding, ready to open the door immediately when he knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds watching, for he will gird himself, have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. Jesus emphasizes that the Son of Man will come at an unexpected hour, and His servants must be prepared. In Luke 12:42, Jesus further asks who the faithful and wise steward is, the one whom his master will make ruler over his household to provide food in due season. He portrays the steward as a servant with significant responsibility, managing the household on behalf of the master. Jesus highlights that a good manager, faithful in stewardship, receives greater responsibilities as a reward, placed perfectly by God who knows the person thoroughly. As stewards, we are servants with management duties over the gifts given on loan from God Himself, called to use them for the good of others.

Jesus Christ, as the holy Servant of God, exemplified the highest calling of service when He came to this earth. Though He was King of kings and Lord of lords, the Holy One and the Just, the Prince of Life, He took on the form of a servant, humbling Himself to become one of humanity. His purpose was not to rule over people during His time as a man, but to serve them, even as their Master, demonstrating the essence of godly leadership. He personified the perfect model of human life, a life dedicated to service and sacrificial love for others, leaving an unparalleled example for all to follow. In His own words, recorded in Matthew 20, Jesus affirmed that He came not to be served, but to serve, emphasizing that true greatness lies in serving others. This is further illustrated in Philippians 2, where it is shown that He lowered Himself, taking on the form of a servant and coming in the likeness of men, equating humanity's purpose with service. His path of service led through the death on the cross, but ultimately to exaltation by God, with His name above every other name, showing that a life of service leads to glory and authority. Jesus Christ's life of constant service is the model for all who abide in Him, as stated in I John 2:6, urging followers to walk just as He walked. His commendation to the faithful in Thyatira, in Revelation 2, highlights the value of godly works, love, service, faith, and endurance, promising a great reward in the Kingdom of God to those who learn to lead through service as He did.
