Matthew 20:20-28
The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them and their high officials exercise authority over them.
The ruler in heaven. whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
The disciples are taken up with their own status. The place at the top is reserved for the disciple who - like the master - is prepared to live for others and if need be to die for them.
Why?
The kingdom of heaven is for the humble.
How?
Serve God by serving people! Serve others.
