Jesus radically redefines greatness through the fourth characteristic we explore from Matthew 20: a great man serves. In stark contrast to worldly leadership that lords authority over others, Jesus calls his followers to a completely different model where true greatness is found in becoming a servant.

• Examining how Jesus confronts the mother of James and John when she asks for positions of honor for her sons
• Highlighting Christ's stark declaration about worldly leadership: "It shall not be so among you"
• Understanding the difference between using positional authority versus serving from a place of humility
• Exploring how we've diluted Jesus's radical call by using "servant leader" terminology while missing true servanthood
• Learning from Jesus's personal example in John 13 where he demonstrates true greatness by washing disciples' feet
• Recognizing the practical warning: "If serving is beneath you, then leadership is beyond you"
