Humility: True Greatness #3

Chapter 3

- "Jesus was radically redefining greatness..." Mark 9:35b - "If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

- The pride of the disciples who walked, talked, lived, and trained with Christ is incredible... gives us all hope!!! I'm just like them... sometimes worse...

- "Jesus does not categorically criticize or forbid the desire and ambition to be great. Instead, He clearly redirects that ambition, redifines it, and purifies it: "But whoever would be great amoung must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all." (Mark 10:43-44)

- Christ is the "ultimate example of true greatness." He was a servant. "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45)

- True greatness is defined: "Serving others for the glory of God."

- "What it means to be great in the eyes of God - humbly serving others for His glory!"
