Mark 10:44-45: The Greatest Among Us Must Be a Servant

Mark 10:44-45 You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, & their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, & whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, & to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matt 23:11-12 The greatest among you shall be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, & whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Matt 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 1Peter5:6 Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. — Humility is having a modest opinion or estimate of one’s own importance! Servant is the willingness to put it all down to enter the path that leads to eternal life! To willingly empty ourselves & willingly pick the door where Jesus waits! — John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by Me, he will be saved, & will go in & will go out & will find pasture. — When we realize what we find in Him, our willingness to give up the pleasures of this world brings the most enormous fulfillment, humility becomes second nature!
