A Servant’s Heart
Isn’t it just like us to be jealous that we didn’t think to ask or afraid that someone else being honored will take away from us?
None of them knew what they were truly asking.
The remaining 10 disciples were afraid that James and John wanted to rule over them and a little mad that they didn’t ask first because they wanted to be in charge.
Jesus explained that to be first, you must be willing to be last.
A great leader is a great servant.
Anyone who wants to be first, must be willing to sacrifice what they want for the good of others.
A great leader sacrifices their own needs for others over and over and over….
If we are honest, we all have a desire to be first. It is human nature or the sinful nature in us.
Jesus, help us develop a servants heart
