Jesus died on the cross for our sins so that we could join him in heaven, and eternal lives. Jesus wants us to live the way that he said for us to live and not the way of the devil.

Jesus meant that when He said that He did not come to be served but to serve and give His life for mankind is talready self-explanatory because He wants us to realize that Jesus, son of Man and Gos that He is the chosen one as our heavenly king to be the perfect example.

For me it means that Jesus Christ Lord of Lords could have had made everyone a servant for him, but instead he became a servant to lead by example for all man kind. And on top of that he made the connection to God again, he is the bridge to everlasting life. His love for us was so great that he suffered and died a horrible death so that u and i can have life by believing in christ and following his footsteps. Without him we all deserve Hell because we broke God's Law.

Yes! Of course he served others by feeding them and healing them and casting out demons and rising the dead. He came to earth to give his life for our lives to live with our heavenly father in heaven for eternal life. So when Jesus died on the cross for us sinners and forgiven for our sins through his blood and through water by being baptized in name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen! Jesus is Lord!

Jesus meant by His words that He did not come to be Honored as a King but to serve as the lowly. For the humble and lowly will surely enter the Kingdom of God. If we are servants of all, we shall be first in Jesus' Kingdom. By: Mirtha Fabro - August 13, 2007 - Public Category: The Request of James and John

Jesus meant that He, as Son of God, served the people on earth; the servant of the Father. He died for us the sinners as ransom. So who ever beliver in Him and obey His commends and spread His words will enter the Kingdom of God. He said that we should be like Him to serve other, help other and give to other who in need.

First, I still do not get the point about why Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man (everyone comments that Jesus was the Son of God). Also, why talk about himself in the third person and not say I did not come .... Second point that bothers me is the word "and" -- Jesus says "but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many" The first part says is fine: he did not come to be served but to serve. The second part seems not part of the sentence at all. In addition to serving, he does this other thing about giving his life. That is not serving. It sounds like something else. The third thing that bothers me is that it sounds like he is bragging. A great person is one who servers, and see, I am serving so I must be great.

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."
He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."
But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to him, "We are able."
Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared." When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.
Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant. Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all. For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
