Mark 10:43
The great ones are ministers. Jesus changes the whole idea of leadership and greatness. The great will serve the lesser. Does this mean the leaders are just meant to cater to every whim of others? What exactly is in view here?
2 Corinthians 4:5 gives us a clear answer on this. The great are to serve for Jesus’ sake. Basically, service to others is service to Christ. In some cases this may apply to more mundane service, whereas in others it speaks of a more generic attitude of service. For instance, Christians will serve family members, close friends, those in their ministry area, etc on a very basic level. This means doing things as ordinary as assisting with chores. For others, who are part of the broader group one is associated with, would be served on a more general level. This means things like teaching, encouraging, teaming in prayer, working together in ministry, etc.
Heavenly Father, thank you for those we stand shoulder to shoulder with as we serve your will. When we learn to serve others for the sake of Christ, it makes us much better. You always help us to be a blessing to others. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
