For Kids

A "disciple" of Jesus is anyone who has made a commitment to follow him and his teachings. The most important thing about being a disciple is to be like his teacher, to follow him and observe his ways, and to obey what he says. Jesus said that he came not to be served but to serve, he came to be a servant in every way, to be humble and to put every person's needs above his own. Ask God today to help you be a servant, to help you put others first in every way. Are you making time for people around you? Jesus was the greatest yet he humbled himself and treated others as more important than himself, and made it his mission to serve others. A disciple of Jesus is someone who wants to be like his master in all his ways.
