AT YOUR SERVICE
READING: MATTHEW 20:20-28
In this verse the Lord Jesus tells the disciples how to become great. The Lord’s instruction is very pertinent for us today also. This principle is especially significant because what it grants is the opposite of what people naturally attempt to do. However, our Lord has proved it to be the way the Father has established for greatness to be reached. It is clear that Jesus is the greatest person who has ever lived on earth. This truth is so undeniable that many religions which fail to properly acknowledge Him for who He is, do still give recognition to His greatness. This verse reveals to us that the key to this greatness. It is that He served completely and far more fully than anyone else has ever done. In His life on the earth He served mankind with every type of godly ministry. In His death He served even more powerfully by winning our salvation. In His resurrection He still serves with supernatural power in the process of bringing us into divine completeness. For our Lord it was, and is, the magnitude of His service that determines the magnitude of His greatness. For us also, the power of greatness is found in the humility of service. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
