       God loves to give us more things, he loves to bless us with abundance. He likes it when his believers have cups running over. Our problem, a lot of times, is that we either have wrong motive, like the early workers in the parable, or we just have a problem with unbelief. But there is great comfort in knowing that God chooses to give to us as he wishes. I think often times when we haven’t received what we want yet, we worry we’ve done something wrong, but many times it’s just that the right time hasn’t come yet for us. Now, for the final passage we are considering in hard sayings from our Lord Jesus—and this one is one of the hardest—let’s jump down here in Matthew 20 to verse 25. We read: “But Jesus called them [his disciples] to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:25-28, ESV).
