Re: Verse reading–Mark 10: 32-45 (day three)
“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” Might we abuse this teaching from Jesus? You know we might. Jesus teaches us that serving another doesn’t lead to greatness. Serving another is greatness. Otherwise, we become servants so that we might get a better job later on. We would indeed serve people as a means to a self-serving end. But the life together that the Three-In-One God lives is a life in which the Son defers to the Father, the Father calls attention to the Son, the Holy Spirit illuminates all creation with the truth of the Son, and the Father and Son send the Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity magnifies the other persons of the Trinity. This is servanthood. To serve one another is to live the life God lives.
