There's something profoundly countercultural about choosing to serve others in a world that constantly tells us to prioritize ourselves. Yet, when we look at the life of Jesus, we discover a revolutionary truth: greatness isn't found in being served, but in serving others.

Maybe you've experienced the relief that comes when a beam of light pierces through the darkness, revealing what was once hidden and uncertain.
