THURSDAY | DAILY RHYTHMS - SERVE WEEK 2

Picture this scene in your mind as you read it. Do you find it a bit humorous that the mother of the ‘sons of thunder’ would approach Jesus to request seats of honor for eternity for her boys? It may not be perfectly clear what Jesus’ reaction was to the request, but he does turn the occasion into an opportunity for a leadership lesson for all of his disciples. Greatness and status and importance are measured and exemplified in the world by things like seats of honor; however, in the Kingdom of God, greatness looks very different. It involves service and sacrifice, not occasionally or accidentally, but intentionally and regularly.
