Through his words and deeds, Jesus articulates a Kingdom in which extending help to one another is essential to our way of life, transforming competitive instincts into collaborative strengths. This call to service is not about diminishing oneself but about elevating communal well-being, where every action and choice can significantly impact another’s journey.

Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For the Son of Man came not be be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many. [Mark 10:43-45]
