"Whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister. And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."

What can I do for you? - This question Jesus asked several times to several different people. Some answered selfishly and others asked out of need or necessity. Our discussion today centered around Mark chapters 9 and 10.

Jesus, who demonstrated true servant hood by His actions, answered according to the need and He worked with those who asked selfishly. To those who asked amiss and wanted personal gain or benefit from Jesus' kind and loving offer, He brought forth a child as an illustration and instructed the requestors to be humble and to become as children. To those who asked for a position of power, Jesus taught them to not think as the world thinks..... and then He washed their feet. The King of all kings washing the feet of His own creation!

Let us be like Jesus and be always reminded that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. :
