NO OTHER KING LIKE HIM

One of the most extreme reversals in history: While ancient kings demanded
to be served and exalted their status, Jesus—the ultimate King of kings—
humbled Himself to serve all mankind.

MATTHEW 20:25-28

“But Jesus called them to Himself and said, ‘You
know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over
them, and those who are great exercise authority
over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but
whoever desires to become great among you, let
him be your servant. And whoever desires to be
first among you, let him be your slave—just as
the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.’”
