"Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant."
Matthew 20:26
|
Print Description:
|
"Greatness. The very word sounds good. There isn't a parent who doesn't
want greatness for his or her child. Where most of us part company is over
the way to achieve greatness. If you asked any modern child to name a great
person, he would, more than likely, name a famous athlete, movie star or
rock musician---at least someone in the public eye. Let's face it,
that's what most of us think of as great. Yet we who are called by
Christ's name ought to use His definition of greatness. He said a
person who chooses to serve is great. Yes, you heard it correctly -- serve.
How many parents, this evening, will sit around a table and impart that
philosophy to their children? I dare say, not many. In the competitive
environment of our world, should we encourage our children to become servants?
After all, what if they get taken for granted? These questions were answered
by the greatest of all. He said servanthood is the path to greatness. Listen
to this. 'If anyone wants to be first, he must be the
very last, the servant of all' (Mark 9:35 NIV) It would help us if we
realized that greatness is in the hand of God. He distributes it as
He thinks fit. We must only position ourselves to receive it by obedience.
Then we relax and watch the blessing of God pour out on that servant's life.
"I couldn't think of a more dramatic way of showing the opposite of
greatness than a businessman, in his office, surrounded by the trappings
of 'success'. Surely he's got it made. He's arrived! Not quite.
When Christ comes into view, He again demonstrates the servant's
posture, to the chagrin and humiliation of the man. Just as He did
to His own disciples, Christ reminds us of what a great person looks
like. Will we follow?
"A footnote: When this painting was unveiled at a convention sometime ago,
I was surprised by the comments of those passing by. Many Pastors walked
by with a spouse or friend and whispered, "Look, there's a Pastor in the
chair, with Christ washing his feet!" How interesting. They were applying
it personally! As always, God did more with the painting that I expected."
