Jesus Christ is the only man who has ever lived that is both Self-less and Self-Centered. He was fully consumed with His purpose (not other's). He was consumed with His Father's will which was to reveal Himself to humanity. As a result He had to be focused on other's good. But HE IS good. He is the only Good humanity will ever know. So as a result, in order to be loving of humanity, He had to focus the world on Himself.
So He said things like "I am the Bread of Life...", "Abide in ME", "MY yoke is easy", "I am the Good Shepherd", "I AM".
Jesus was solely focused on His Father which resulted in instructing others to be focused on Himself. But He was also self-less. "I lay down my life for the sheep", "As the Father loved me, I also have loved you" or He "made Himself of no reputation." He was totally selfless!
He is the Selflessly Self-Centered Servant.
