"...Jesus called them together and said, 'You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant." (KJV - minister) (Matt.20:25-26 NIV)
"...and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..." (verses 27-28)

∙ 9y agoAs used in The Bible, the word "ministry" has several meanings. In addition to a mission of teaching or preaching God's word (Luke 3:23), it can mean any care taken or service done on behalf of another. Providing for urgent needs or preparing food for the hungry are also examples of "ministering." (See Matthew 4:11; 25:44; Mark 15:40, 41.)
Romans 12, verses 4-7 speaks to different ministries or spiritual gifts given to Bible believing Christians; Teaching, serving, encouraging are just a few of the many gifts or ministries given to believers. We must be willing to use whichever ministry we have been given for the Lord's glory. and to build up others.
