Series: Growing Godly Attitudes To Serve or to be Served ? The Key to True Greatness Mark 10:35-45

Mark 10:35-45 Greatness is Serving 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and 44 whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

The Longing to be Great Jesus did not rebuke his disciples for requesting greatness. He wanted them to strive for true greatness in the right way. The question is will we allow GOD to determine what greatness is and how to achieve it in His Kingdom?

True greatness by serving Jesus taught that true greatness comes not by seeking special places of authority and not by looking to be served, but by serving. So what does it take to be a true servant?

A Servant is a Listener Listener: Matthew 17:5 “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!” Four Steps to Hearing From God: 1.Quiet yourself in the Lord’s presence 2.Fix your eyes on Jesus 3.Tune in to the spontaneous flow of your inner thoughts because that is where God speaks 4.Write down what you hear

A Servant is a Doer Doer: Matthew 25:14-30 The Parable of the Talents (The Parable of the Three Servants) Whatever you hear from God be sure to do it without delay!

A Servant is connected ~ not a lone ranger A servant is connected to his Master [ relationship] A servant is connected to his Master’s household [family] A servant is connected to his Master’s activities [mission]

A servant understands the Master’s authority ~ and he correctly uses it Matthew 10:1 You’ve been given authority to conduct Kingdom affairs as a servant of the King Luke 10:19-20 Use that authority effectively and guard the motives of your heart

The Eternal Joy of Serving the King! Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. 6 Then he (the angel) said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. 7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Do you aspire to true Greatness? Take time daily to listen to God. Ask Him to direct you to where He wants you to serve in the coming month and year. Spend time with Him before serving others. Stay connected and serve God’s family. Use God’s authority to carry out His mission.
