How do we know that serving others leads to true greatness?

Answered in 1 source

We know that serving others leads to true greatness because Jesus directly taught this principle in His ministry.

In Matthew 20:26-28, Jesus teaches His disciples that to be great in His kingdom, one must serve others. This teaching counters the common understanding of greatness as power and authority over others. Instead, Jesus exemplifies greatness by serving humanity, culminating in His sacrifice on the cross. The ultimate display of His servanthood is not just in teaching but in action, as He gives His life as a ransom for many. By serving others, we not only follow Jesus' example but also position ourselves as participants in the work of God's kingdom, reflecting His love and purpose in our relationships and interactions. Thus, true greatness is measured by our willingness to serve others selflessly.
