Servant is the Greatest

Luke 22:25-27 
25 And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 26 But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. 27 For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.

Who will be the greatest in God's kingdom? Jesus said the servant, the younger - not the ruler or the master at the table.  Even Jesus gave the example to serve, not to be served.  Humility out of love in action from the heart is true service, not finding ways to serve to earn a place of greatness; great service does not consider the result for self, but others.
