       Before Jesus tells us what he expects from us as his disciples, he talks about the way the world works. And I think all of us are familiar with the world’s ways. We know how government is set up, we know how our military works, with the differing ranks among the soldiers. We know how our workplaces are set up, as most of us are either boss or have a boss we answer to, and even most of the bosses answer to bosses, and that unless your the owner or the chief operator. So, we know how the world works when it comes to perceived greatness—to perceived power. Interestingly enough, Jesus here says that his disciples are not to operate this way. Or, at least, they are not to think in this way as it pertains to who is greatest. Jesus says that a person does not become greatest in his eyes by reaching a command over the most people. Jesus says things are to work differently with his disciples.
