“Sitting down, he called the Twelve and said to them, ‘If anyone wants to be first, he must be last and servant of all.’” (v. 35)

Don’t insist that the world cater to you. Instead, find those you can serve.

Don’t demand that your church meet your preferences. Instead, position your church for those who are not yet “in.”

Don’t presume a place of privilege. Instead, welcome outsiders with honor.

Don’t crave every blessing. Instead, seek to bless.

It’s a growing Kingdom. And, by grace, you might have gotten here before some others.

Don’t hold your nose in the air on your way to your seat. Instead, hold the door.
