This week in our Gospel reading, Mark 9:30-37, we hear how Jesus asked His disciples what they were arguing about on the road, but they kept quiet because they had argued about who was the greatest.
Jesus doesn't rebuke them for wanting to be great. Instead, He explains to them exactly what it means to be great - "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all."
The greatest doesn't just sit at the table with the high and mighty, though to truly be the servant of all, they would indeed minister to those with worldly power, whose souls need care as much as anyone else's.
Rather, the greatest is the one who welcomes little children in the name of Jesus, caring for the smallest and most vulnerable among us.
What gifts of service has God given you that make you truly great, in the way He wants you to be?
Today's sermon was written and presented by Anthony Fawcett.
