“The greatness of the kingdom is revealed in sacrificial service.”
Jesus's first disciples had attitudes and values shaped by their culture, especially when it came to what makes a person important or "great." In this passage, Jesus recalibrated their understanding to enable them to carry out the mission he had called them to fulfill
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
Christians claim that Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords, and they look and pray for the coming of his kingdom on earth as in heaven. Yet every year that goes by, the world seems to grow worse and worse and drifts farther away from God. Are the people of God naïve or foolish for hoping for a kingdom we can't see? During this series through Mark's Gospel, we will see that God's kingdom is coming and is already here, but it is hidden by the same suffering and humility that characterized Jesus's life.
