Jesus said if you want to be great in His Kingdom, become a servant and begin serving people. He warned against seeking or taking authority in a purely ambitious manner. This is an excellent example of the principle “My ways are not your ways.” In our carnal thinking, we want to lord it over others, make more money, have more possession, or be in charge of more people.

A servant leader sets a Godly example for others to follow. His pay, his authority, his position among men is determined from Above. God is his agent and will exalt him in due time.
