Servanthood is the measure of greatness

Morning: Psalm 31; Isaiah 7:10-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5

Evening: Psalm 35; Haggai 1:1-15; Luke 22:14-30

When Jesus eats the Passover supper with his friends, he says that one of them is about to betray him.  Sure enough, before long, some of them start arguing about who is the greatest among them, probably already denying that they could possibly be the ones who would betray Jesus.  And yet, their argument is itself already a kind of betrayal.  Jesus does not want his disciples to behave like this, jostling for position, favour and power.  Betrayal comes in many forms.  Servanthood is the measure of greatness.
