What would Jesus say about social media and self-promotion?

The question is not one my recorded words settle directly — there was no such thing in my time. But the convictions behind it are ones I spoke about plainly, and I will reason from them, saying where I am inferring. On the hunger for status and recognition I asked this, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark: “For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life” The world's approval — its likes, its audience, its admiration — is exactly the kind of gain I had in mind. You can accumulate it endlessly and still have lost the thing that mattered. On the desire to be first In that same Gospel I said plainly: “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all” Self-promotion inverts this. It makes the self the subject, the audience the means, and recognition the goal. I am not saying that sharing good work is wrong — but when the promotion becomes the point, something has gone quietly wrong at the center. On what to do instead My inference from everything I taught about humility, service, and the child I placed in the disciples' arms: use whatever platform you have to receive others, to lift those without voice, to be the servant rather than the celebrity. That is the direction. Whether you have ten followers or ten million, the question remains the same — whose flourishing are you actually serving?
