Question 271: How Are We To Interpret “The Son Of Man Came Not To Be Ministered Unto But To Minister?”
Answer:
This passage in Matt 20:28 is the elevation of the duty of a believer’s service. Of course, Moshiach did come to earth to win all men to His service, but it was for their sakes rather than His own. To serve Him meant salvation; it was sin that kept them from their allegiance to Him. And He came to save them from their sins. All the time He was in the flesh He gave rather than accepted service. He was moved by love. Even when the people would have taken Him by force to make Him King He would not accept it. That was not the kind of service He wanted. He wanted men to serve Him in holiness and spiritual power. He gave His body in humiliation and sacrifice in order that they might be lifted up to this higher plane of service. The whole message of the New Testament is that Moshiach came to earth for the sake of mankind, not for His own sake. And He taught by example the life of humility, self-sacrifice and service which He wishes all men to lead.

Since the launch of TTN Social, the distinction between Pages and Groups has been a bit confusing and sometimes diverted focus. Initially, I kept both features to offer a familiar experience similar to Facebook, making the transition easier for new members.
As part of an ongoing effort to refine and improve TTN Social, I’m making updates—both by adding long-awaited features and removing redundant ones. Based on member feedback, the Pages feature will be phased out, and all existing page content will be migrated to Groups. This will create a more consistent and streamlined experience across the platform.
Once the migration is complete, I’ll update this post. Page owners will then be able to review their new Groups (which will retain the same name and URL as their Page) to ensure everything is in order before Page data is permanently removed.
Thanks for your support, and stay tuned for updates!

Even as hard as you try, you cannot solve everything in your life – but don’t let keep you from obeying the Bible’s injunction to do good to everyone you can, as YHVH gives you opportunity. It may be by supporting your community, or the social media platform to get the truth out. Or it may be helping a widow or orphan who lives near you… or simply being a friend to someone who is going through hard times. Remember Yeshua’s Words in Matthew 25:40 and do good to all people as written in Galatians 6:10.
My teen & I were just discussing an oddity of the english language. She said "Why are we like this?!" I replied "Colonism". She corrected me with "Colonialism" then proceeded to sing "I can feel it comin' in the air tonight" and repeated "Colonism" it took me a hillariously long time to realize she had made a pun: Phil Collinism. Maybe you had to be here, but it was a good laugh!
