Mark 10:43
“Whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant.”

Two of the apostles had just boldly asked Jesus to allow them to sit at his right and left when he comes into glory. They were expressing the world’s philosophy that being great means having power, prestige and possessions. But that’s the kingdom of the world…not the kingdom of God. In God’s kingdom…you are great if you serve. In the prayer that Jesus taught us He told us to pray to God: “Thy kingdom come.” This is our task…to bring about God’s kingdom here and now. But God can only work through us with our cooperation. For this to happen…our egos must diminish so Christ can increase in us. Will you serve your ego or God?
