“Jesus specialized in menial tasks that everyone else tried to avoid: washing feet, helping children, fixing breakfast, and serving lepers. Nothing was beneath him, because he came to serve.

Paul said, “I once thought all these things were so very important, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.”
