persecution. Jesus also clarified that the specific seating assignments in the kingdom are not His to give, but are reserved by the Father. ~
(Lesson 5170)(03-31-26) Matthew 20:24-28
“And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as 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 defined greatness as selfless service to others, emphasizing that He did not come into this world to be served but to be a servant Himself, and to offer His life as a ransom for the lost souls of the world, an act that serves to justify the sins of the world for all who place their faith in Him. ~
