Matt 20:24-28When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 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. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 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." NIV
Jesus did not only set the example of service to God but also the result of being a servant. . .
1. Greatness- will be the description of those who serves Him in humility.
2. Being first-I believed this implies first in being a servant. First in giving, in working, first in going and first in His presence.
3. Inward view of the servant is the view of his master- only to please Him in everything. Ready to go at the Master's bidding. Willing to stop at the sign of His hand.
May we served Him the way He wants us and may we see greatness in being a servant of Christ!
