In society everyone wants to be first in everything. To be in the second place is to be the first loser. Many pride themselves on being first, whether in school, business or sports.
Jesus said, ‘ If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all’. What He means is that if anyone wants to be first then he should serve. Giving our lives to God and doing His will is far more important than anything this world has to offer.
We must ask the Holy Spirit to guide us, so that we may live our His will in our lives. We must ask Him to enable us to be humble servants, helping those who truly need help.
Mark 9:35
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."
