"Initially, the idea of serving others is never an attractive one
for many people; it is even humiliating, and that is because they
do not know what true service is. Otherwise, why would Jesus have
said in the Gospels, ‘The greatest among you must become like one
who serves’? Those who are great never find it demeaning to be at
the service of others, because their greatness is of the spirit.
They know that nothing, no task, will make them lose their
nobility, their true greatness.
Jesus was great, because he knew how to be infinitely small. The
man who said, ‘I am the truth’ never asked anyone to bow down to
serve him; on the contrary, he made himself a humble servant to
all. Why? Because truth is charged with immeasurable power. So it
has to be carefully wrapped for others to receive it and
assimilate it without it causing any damage. The power bestowed
by truth must also be expressed through humility, love and
kindness."
