Servant Leadership in the Kingdom of God

True greatness in God's kingdom is not about status or recognition, but about serving others with a willing heart, trusting that God values our everyday acts of love and faithfulness.

The passage from Mark 10:35-45 highlights the misunderstanding of greatness in God's kingdom. James and John sought positions of honor without realizing the true cost of following Jesus. Jesus, in response, redefines greatness not as status or power, but as service and sacrifice. He invites us to follow His example, serving others and trusting God, even when it is difficult or inconvenient. Greatness in God’s eyes is not about recognition but about loving and serving with humility.

Ultimately, this reflection calls us to examine our own lives, asking if we are truly all in for Jesus. It challenges us to serve and love without expecting rewards, to trust that even the unseen and small acts of faith have great value. God's grace is ever-present, and He does not demand perfection, but He does ask for a willing heart and faithfulness. Our reward is not in worldly recognition, but in the peace, joy, and purpose that comes from following Christ.
