What does the Bible say about Jesus as a servant?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible describes Jesus as the ultimate servant, exemplified in Luke 22:27, where He states, 'I am among you as he that serveth.'

In the Gospels, Jesus Christ is portrayed not only as the divine Son of God but also as a servant. This duality is illustrated vividly in Luke 22:27, where He declares, 'I am among you as he that serveth.' This statement emphasizes His role as a humble servant, contrary to worldly systems of power, where those in authority dictate terms to those beneath them. Jesus, though equal with God, chose to take on the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7) to demonstrate true greatness in the kingdom of heaven. His washing of the disciples' feet serves as a profound example of His servant heart.
