“‘For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.'” (Luke 22: 27, NIV)
To be a disciple of Jesus is to identify oneself as a servant.
It is difficult identity oneself as the servant when every component of our being hungers for recognition and adulation; and Jesus acknowledges as much in today’s scripture when He says that the “one who is at the table” is greater than “the one who serves”.
Yet, to be as Jesus is be a servant. Do not eschew servitude and humility. It is in these states we shall find the company of our Lord. – Luther
