Jesus summoned them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
How often have we felt superior to someone else? How often have we put ourselves above someone else? Have we ever thought, "I can do that better than him" or "I can do this better than her." There is a human tendency to be competitive and want to be the best but Jesus asks us to go beyond our broken human nature and instead, be a servant. How can we serve another today?
CHALLENGE: Try to commit an act of service for someone that won't be expecting it.
