"Whoever wants to be great must become a servant." – Mark 10:43 (Msg)

You can tell what they are by what they do. – Matthew 7:16

We serve God by serving others.

The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige, and position.  If you can demand service from others you've arrived.  In our self-serving culture with its me-first mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept.

Jesus, however, measured greatness in terms of service, not status.  God determines your greatness by how many you serve, not how many people serve you.  This is so contrary to the world's idea of greatness that we have a hard time understanding it, much less practicing it.

Thousands of books have been written on leadership, but few on servanthood.  Everyone wants to lead; no one wants to be a servant.

"If you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded." – Matthew 10:42
