"Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, 'If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.'" (Mark 9:35)
What does it mean to be great? Success, prestige, power, money; these are some of the ways we measure how one becomes great. Jesus told the Disciples that in order to be the greatest you most become a servant, not great at all by the world's standards. The first will be last, and we must loose our life in order to gain it in God's Kingdom. The Apostle Paul said he was the worst or greatest of all sinners! To be a servant it takes humility. Jesus told us that he came not to be served, but to serve others. What would stop you from following God's call to serve others? What are some things you really enjoy doing? How could God use your passions to meet others needs? Go meet those needs!
