As we follow Jesus to show us the way, what he shows is that the way we follow Jesus is the same way he was sent to us. Jesus came to us descending from God. Jesus' descending symbolizes servanthood because it is a coming down of God to send servant to us so we can have a way to God. His descension is God coming to us. Jesus taking the life of a servant is his coming down from himself. We take on the life of a servant to follow Jesus which is our coming down to us. So how to we get down with Jesus, we serve.
