What is the discipline of service?
Quick answer
Service is the discipline of choosing to do good for others, often quietly and without recognition. Jesus said the greatest is the servant of all, and modeled it by washing his disciples’ feet.
"The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45).
Service grows humility, kills pride, opens our eyes to others’ needs, and reflects Christ.
Look around: a meal cooked, a chore done, a card sent, time given. Small acts add up to a transformed life.
