As Christians, being servants is fundamental to our faith for the following reasons:
1. Following Christ’s Example:
Jesus exemplified servanthood throughout His life, washing His disciples’ feet and ultimately sacrificing Himself for humanity. By serving, we imitate His love and humility.
2. Living Out the Great Commandment:
Jesus taught that loving our neighbours is essential. Serving others is a practical expression of that love, fulfilling our calling to care for those around us.
3.Building Community:
Servanthood fosters connection and unity within the church. It creates a culture of support and encouragement, helping to meet the needs of others.
4. Spiritual Growth:
Serving challenges us to step outside our comfort zones, fostering growth in faith and character. It helps us develop virtues like patience, compassion, and humility.
5. Witness to the World:
Acts of service reflect Christ’s love to the world, drawing others to Him. Our willingness to serve can be a powerful testimony to the transformative nature of faith.
5. Fulfillment of God’s Purpose:
Serving aligns us with God’s will and purpose for our lives. It allows us to use our gifts and talents for the greater good, contributing to God’s Kingdom.

In essence, being servants embodies the heart of Christianity, promoting love, unity, and growth both personally and within the community.
