Jesus, the Son of God, came to us as a man not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. The example He gave us to follow was one of poverty and humility, as He accepted the sufferings and persecutions that came His way and obeyed His Father even to the point of His humiliating Death on the Cross. We are called to receive God’s mercy and salvation in Christ, and to be His hands and feet through the world to share the Good News of salvation and make God’s mercy and love known to all.
