Jesus the Servant

Feb 1, 2026    Dr. David Wyns

This powerful message invites us into a profound exploration of servanthood through the lens of Jesus himself. We're reminded that Jesus didn't come seeking titles, fame, or recognition—He came with a towel in hand, ready to serve. The image of Jesus washing His disciples' feet, including Judas who would betray Him, challenges everything we think we know about leadership and greatness. The message declares 2026 as the year of 'the never seen before'—a time when God's outstretched hand will perform signs and wonders through servants who operate in boldness and faith. But there's a condition: we must embrace the posture of servanthood ourselves. Drawing from Mark 10:45, we see that Jesus came 'not to be served, but to serve and to give His life.' This isn't just religious activity; it's spiritual action that transforms us into His image. The widow's two francs in the Cameroon story illustrates how acts of faith—even from our poverty—unlock heavenly blessings. When we serve and give with open hands, we experience open heavens. The call is clear: become people who say 'nevertheless' in the face of every challenge, who worship deeply, and who understand that we're never more like God than when we give.
