25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many (Matthew 20:25-28).
The heart of discipleship is service. The service is to God on the behalf of others. Whenever we serve others we are honoring God. God is pleased when we act as servants. Inherent in being a servant is the idea of being humble and showing humility. Humility is the opposite of pride. It is simply not possible to be arrogant and full of pride while exercising humility and being of a humble heart. God always uses people in their weakness to bring about the desired results that could not be accomplished by their strength alone. Serve God.
