       So, what is it that makes the disciple great? Well, Jesus says here in the most basic sense that it is he who has become a servant, and really, servant of all. Now, before we are turned off too much, I think there are some things we need to consider here. There is also the danger here to become immediately legalistic and prideful at the same time. We learn later in the New Testament that God in fact gifts each believer with varying gifts that they then use to serve the body of Christ. It is through the way God has gifted us that we become a servant. So, that being said, serving, or even becoming a servant of all, is not something that is to be dreaded or something that is to be done in a legalistic, frowning, or unenjoyable way. That’s where a lot of brothers and sisters falter here with this passage. No, we can in fact be servants of Christ, and even servants of all, while having a good time. I really believe that Jesus enjoyed his time here on the earth, and God’s call on his life. I believe it came from his heart.
