Matthew 20:25-28
25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Greatness in God's kingdom is not in how much power or influence can be exerted over others or being number one, but being last and serving in humility of the heart truly caring for others. If Jesus as the Son of Man and God, God among us, could serve then we would do well to follow in His steps to do the same. Or do we imagine that we can be greater than He?
