“For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table, or the one who serves [the table]? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I [Jesus speaking] am among you as one who serves.” (LUK 22:27)Roy Hession writes (in Jesus is the Heart of Christmas) “With a wash basin and towel Jesus revealed how far He would bend to reach us, and how far His arms would extend to meet our need. No king, no ruler, no magistrate had ever bent that low or reached out so completely to meet another’s need.”
“...the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (MAT 20:28)
“Jesus is the heart of love and all that it gives; the heart of righteousness and all it represents; the heart of mercy and all it restores; the heart of kindness and all it embraces; the heart of grace and all it provides.
To the troubled heart He brings peace; to the fearful heart He brings comfort; To the repentant heart He brings cleansing; to the worried heart He brings rest; to the lonely heart He brings His love.”
