The True Meaning Of Greatness

hey-
i read this today in my Quiet Time..& it's really good.
God has been speaking to me more than i ever thought He
would.

Matthew 20:26-28 "Instead, 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 for
ransom for many."


WANTED: Male or female to be model of success for the
world. Qualifications: Must be attractive, charming,
bright, and physically fit. Only the wealthy need apply;
money can be either earned or inherited but not stolen. Mat
be required to show evidence greatness, such as how many
persons are serving you. Good dose of luck helpful but not
essential. Fame deffinately an asset. Send resume, full-
length picture, medical records, and a list of important
friends.

WANTED: Male or female to be a model of success for
Christians. Qualifications: Must be kind, patient, and
generous. Good dose of humility essential. Selfish need not
apply. May be required to show evidence of greatness, such
as how many people are you serving and how you have been
persecuted for your Christain lifestyle. Only servants will
be considered. Send resume; no picture or medical records
or list of influtential friends necessary. It doesn't
matter what you look like or how healthy you are or who you
know.

If anyone had a right to be served, it was Jesus. Yet he
didn't come to be served. He came to serve. If you're
looking for a genuine model of success- you'll find it in
Jesus. If you want to have the success Jesus had, you will
have to live like he did, as a servant. Who are you serving
right now?
