His idea is that we serve Him by being the servants of others. Jesus Christ actually “out-socialized” the socialists. He said that in His kingdom the greatest one would be the servant of all (see Matthew 23:11 ). The real test of a saint is not one’s willingness to preach the gospel, but one’s willingness to do something like washing the disciples feet,” that is, being willing to do those things that seem unimportant in human estimation but count as everything to God.</blockquote> Nice. It's good to be reminded that other Jesus followers noticed Jesus' emphasis on serving.
