Jesus: Greatness = service

"Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” 

On Sunday we looked at Matthew 20 together and heard Jesus call us to lay down our lives in slave-like service of one another, just like he did for us. 

We'll all have different kinds of opportunities to do that. I've been challenged and encouraged by the example of those who have headed out to serve in Uganda this summer with Fingerprints. If you haven't done so already, do check out the team's blog - it's an eye opener into some of the needs in our world, and into what a few people, responding to the call of our King, can do.
