SERVICE IS THE HIGHEST POSITION

Matthew 23:11

"The greatest among you will be your servant." (NIV)

"But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant." (KJV)

The definition of a servant is a person in the service
of another. We seldom think of a chief executive officer
or a pastor or a government leader as being a servant.
We think of those people as ones to whom we make our
services available. But this is the world's idea of a servant.
In God's kingdom, He says that the greatest among us are
our servants. If we are freely serving others in the love
of God, we are greatest in His kingdom.

Heavenly Father, how we praise you that your Son, Jesus
Christ was the greatest servant of all. Please help us to
follow Him and serve anywhere, anytime, with anyone we
can. Thank you Lord, for when we serve others in love, we
are serving you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
