Jesus Came to Serve

Activity (Optional)

Go around the circle and say ways that you can serve (or help) someone. Each person has to remember and say the things that have previously been said, adding one more to the end.

Devotional

Jesus is the Son of God and the King of all kings. There has never been a person more important than him! But guess what? When Jesus came to Earth, he didn’t act like a bossy king. He didn’t sit on a fancy throne or make people bring him things. The Bible says he came to serve.

That means Jesus helped people. He washed his friends’ feet. He healed the sick. He spent time with people no one else wanted to be near. He listened, cared, and even died for us.

Jesus showed us that being great doesn’t mean acting like you’re the most powerful. It means loving and helping others.
