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 and prestige. But that’s the kingdom of the world…not the kingdom of God. In God’s kingdom…you are great if you serve. You are great if you are with the least of these. Jesus taught us to pray to God: “Thy kingdom come.” This is our task…to cooperate with God in bringing about God’s kingdom in the here and now. For this to happen…our egos must diminish so Christ can increase in us. Will you serve your ego…or God?
