The Greatest
Jesus said,
“Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28.
Man’s way is not God’s way. Within our society those in power tend to tell people what to do. They do not serve those under them. Rather those under them serve them. That is that way it’s been throughout history.
Christian belief however tells us that if you wish to be great in the kingdom of God you must be a servant to all.
The apostle Paul writing to the Romans states,

The apostle Paul writing to the Romans states,
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Romans 12:9,10
Please think about it.
