Who is the greatest? … Wrong question

Morning: Psalm 105:1-22; I Samuel 8:1-22; Acts 6:15-7:16
Evening: Psalm 105:23-45; Luke 22:24-30

Here, the Gospel story needs little interpretation: A dispute arose among Jesus’s disciples about which of them was the greatest. But Jesus said to them, “Kings lord it over the peoples … But with you, the greatest must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. For who is greater?  Is it not the one at the table?  But I am among you as one who serves.”  For Jesus, the question about greatness is the wrong question. The real question is: Am I ready to serve?
