Jesus serves as a minister by selflessly attending to the needs of others, culminating in His sacrifice on the cross.
Jesus is portrayed in the Gospels as the ultimate minister and servant. In Mark 10:45, He states that He came 'not to be ministered unto, but to minister,' showcasing His humility and dedication to serving others. This service is demonstrated through His healing of the sick, teaching the marginalized, feeding the hungry, and ultimately, giving His life as a ransom. His entire ministry exemplifies what it means to serve out of love and compassion. Moreover, today, even after His ascension, He continues to serve as our High Priest, interceding for us before the Father and ministering to our needs through the Holy Spirit, thus ensuring that He actively cares for His people.
