“The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many.” Matt 20:28
Jesus came to earth to minister and give His life.
“Minister” means to attend to the needs of someone. To serve, to take care of, to look after, to assist, to wait on and to see to.
He came to give His own life for others.
And who are those others? People who didn’t ask for Him and who didn’t even want or see their need for Him. People who would hang Him on a cruel cross even though He was perfect. People who didn’t deserve His love.
What a man! May God make us more like Him, so we are humble servants and generous givers to those who don’t deserve it.
