Thursday, June 27: “The Influential Servants”

Matthew 20: 25-27: “Jesus called [His disciples] to Himself and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. It is not that way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.’”

Who is the most influential: the great men exercising their authority, and the rulers lording it over as many as they can? Or is it the servant and the slave, the humble of heart before God and man? Jesus chose the second path. Question answered.
