Since the fall of man as recorded in Genesis 3 there has been a striving among people for greatness in this world. In the book of Genesis we see this happening in the first offspring, Cain and Abel. Cain wanted to be better than his brother so much that when his sacrifice was rejected and Abel’s was accepted, Cain became enraged and killed his brother. The Tower of Babel is an example of mankind reaching for greatness to rival God. That pursuit for greatness is seen in the rivalry between Esau and Jacob, as well as Joseph and his 10 older brothers. In this Sunday’s text, Matthew 20:20-28 we see the quest for greatness in the eyes of the world is still very much part of the human experience. The disciples are inquiring from Jesus who will be the greatest in His new Kingdom – the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus’ response had to shock the disciples – it may shock you. The way to greatness in the Kingdom of Jesus comes through serving others. Join us this Sunday as we look at the Healthy Habit of serving others as a way to love what God loves.
