The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven

Spread the love

Mark 10:43-44 “But whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.”

If you want to be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven, the only way is to serve others. Lower yourself and be a servant to your brethren. That’s the only way to be the greatest. In God’s Kingdom, in order to go up, you must go down. In order to receive, you must give. In order to win, you must lose. In order to live, you must die. In order to be the strongest, you need to be the weakest. In order to be the greatest, you should be the lowest.

See? In God’s economy, having more isn’t winning. Being served isn’t best. Being honored isn’t greatness. The ministers of the Lord are to follow His footsteps — who “came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28). Greatness in the kingdom of Heaven is obtained along the path of service, sacrifice, and suffering. This is the only way to be great.
