2. Ruling the World by Serving the World

In this teaching, Jesus is clearing up some misconceptions that his own disciples had about belonging to his kingdom and exactly how the kingdom of God was going to go about exercising power, overcoming evil and conquering the world. In this particular teaching to his disciples, Jesus directly challenges our normal ideas about power and redefines greatness and status in a way that was just as revolutionary then as it is today.

This was a good reminder for myself and just like most of Jesus’ teachings it has challenged me in the way that I carry myself at home and when I'm around other people. I think we as men especially need to hear what Jesus is saying in this teaching and respond to it with a new approach to all of our relationships.

Thanks for listening!
