Matthew
20:24-28
When the ten other
disciples heard about this [John and James asking to sit at Jesus’s right hand
in the kingdom of heaven], they lost their tempers, thoroughly disgusted with
the two brothers. So Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said,
“You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a
little power goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you.
Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first
among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to
serve, not be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for the many
who are held hostage.”
Reflection questions: What
do you think it means that those who want to become great must become
servants? What examples have you seen of
servant-leaders in your life (either in the church or outside of it)? Have you ever led by being a servant to
others?
