Not so with you
There's always a Pecking Order in the Kingdom of this Earth. You can tell it, in subtle ways. Who gives way when two people are talking at the same time? Whose jokes are laughed at, even when they're not funny? You see this going on in offices. Who is allowed to ramble and pontificate in conversation, and who isn't? Who has to say, ?I'm sorry, ? and who doesn't have to say ?I'm sorry?? Go to a high school cafeteria. You will find a table where the jocks and cheerleaders sit together, and no geeky guy would ever try to go sit there. Why not? There are no rules against it. It's the Law of the Pecking Order.

It is stronger by far than any law that any government will ever pass. Nobody will violate it, because everybody knows how a human being can be crushed by it. It just crushes the spirit. This is the way things are in the Kingdom of this Earth. And Jesus says,

  • ?You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.? ''vs. 25''

    Of course. That's the way things go. Then He says these four words that change everything: Not so with you.

    In what ways did Jesus serve when He was on earth? In what ways is He still serving now?
    Jesus coming down to earth as man was a service to man.He was tempted, harrased, beaten and finally hanged on the cross-all these as a service to man-to take upon Himself all our sins and sufferings, to battle with and defeat the devil-all for our sakes.He brought comfort, good health, healings, food and other miracles He did to serve man.So, He served man physically, spiritually, and emotionally while on earth.He brought salvation. He still serves us, because He is seated at the right hand of God interceeding on our behalf.He has sent the Holy spirit to be with us at all times.And to be saved, we have to believe and worship, as He still serves to prevent us from eternal damnation.

    Jesus serves us as to die for our sins which is the most important act of how much God has loved us. Refer to John 3:16 that expresses HIS love for us. He serves us by being the Lamb being slaughter and the Blood of HIS blood that saves us and as God said that Their sins and lawless acts, I will remember no more refer to Hebrews 10:17 Read the whole chapter of Hewbrews 10 - Christ sacrefice Once and for All.

    When Jesus was here, he shows us what it is about HIM, the Father. HE tellls us what HE knows about God because HE is from God. Jesus also shows us how we should be as Christians and told us many great ministry of God. Now Jesus is also serving us and provide us with a Helper and hears our cries, our prayers and is always with us.

    He served on earth as our mighty King of Kings and that he died upon that cross for all of our sins. He can serve you whole life and the way you live only if u ask in Jesus name.

    Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice to serve us all by dying for us on the cross. Another way he served was to perform miracles, saving the lives of many and healing the sick. Perhaps the most poignant of all was that he washed the feet of His disciples.

    Jesus came in to serve and not to be served and that was why he died on the cross to set us free from our sins. A good leader is a good servant and he is still serving us by interceding for us

    A Mother's Request

    Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him. He said to her, "What do you want?"
    She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."
    But Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
    They said to him, "We are able."
    He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
    When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
    But Jesus summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant, even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
