Mark 9:33-35
Who Is the Greatest?
33 Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you [a]disputed among yourselves on the road?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. 35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”
God tells us His idea of being the greatest is much different than what the world calls for! To be called great in the Kingdom of God we must put everyone else first and serve all people! WOW! That is exactly what Jesus did while He was on this earth and set the example for us.
Still want to be the greatest? Many folks will walk away from this teaching of Jesus because they want the attention and don't want to serve all people! Don't let that be me and you! Let us step up and be like Jesus and humble ourselves and put others first and serve all so we may lead them to Jesus!

P.S. The disciples asking Jesus which of them is the greatest has always struck me at strange...of all things to ask Jesus that doesn't seem like something you would ask Him!
