(Lesson 4255)(09-21-23) Mark 10:41-45
“And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but 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.”
In today’s quote, Jesus made it clear that there was to be NO unlimate authority among His apostles. That lesson applies to all of us in the church. Jesus said He came to serve, not to be served. His ultimate goal was to give His own perfect, sinfree life as atonement for the sins of ALL who will come to believe in Him. What a wonderful Savior we serve.~
