“Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mk 10:32-45
Jesus is teaching us how to become a saint. Pride is difficult to conquer, but Jesus teaches us that humility and unselfishness will conquer pride. Jesus teaches us this in the first Beatitude and God teaches us this in the first 3 commandments. Remember, we come from God (His image and likeness; an overflow of His love), we are called to serve Him, and return to Him. His one desire is us. We must wake each day and remember our purpose, to give glory to God in all we do. Jesus teaches us today that one of the best ways we can glorify God is to be like Jesus and serve others. I have selfish thoughts everyday. I am very competitive and want to win everything. It is hard for me to swallow my pride and forgive or ask for forgiveness. I like to be in control. Do an experiment today. Do nothing that you want and just do what everybody else wants to do (serve) and do it with a joyful Spirit. Then, you will be one step closer to understanding what Christ did for us on the cross.
Become a saint!
