What is true greatness?
Lesson Scripture: Mark 9:33-37,
10:35-45 % '
Lesson Aims: To be able to
explain spiritual greatness and to
appreciate and follow Jesus'
model of servanthood.
Lesson Background: During bib
lical times, as well as today peo
ple sought ways to elevate them
selves in society. To accom
plish this feat was quite difficult.
Society was much more rigid
then than now. Class rank was
determined by noble birth, birth
order and/or by law. Even so,
people still wanted to improve
th$ir lot. When Jesus began to
teach people became inspired
hoping that the new kingdom
would allow them to move up
the social ladder . The first por
tion of chapter 9 is filled with
great works of Jesus. He
me ntioned to the disciples His
death and resurrection. They
didn't understand but were
afraid to ask. As they traveled
toward Capernaum, a group of
them began to argue (Luke 9:46
48).
Lesson: Today's lesson begins
with Christ asking what was the
argument over. Jesus knew but
the question probably embar
rassed them ? there was
silence. Then Jesus teaches the
lesson of greatness. It is one of
sacrificial service toward others.
Greatness in the sight of God is
caring and respecting all people
no matter the rank in society.
James and John, the sons of
Zebedee, later ask Christ can
they sit one on each side of Him
in glory. The response from Jesus
was "Can you drink of the cup
that I drink, be baptized with the
baptism that I face?" They
quickly reply "Yes". Then Jesus
tells them that it isn't His place
to grant that wish. Preparation is
being made for those that
deserve those spots. The ten will
squabble over the nerve of James
and John. Again, Jesus calls all
of them together for further
instruction. He reminds them
about earthly (secular) great
ness. Then they are given a
glimpse of spiritual greatness.
To be great means to give of one
self as a testimony of God's
Love. Even He came to serve, not
to be served. His ultimate sacri
fice will be His life for many.
Application: How many times
have we looked at someone else
and desired to be them? How
many times have the people over
us not behaved justly and we
desired that status? How many
times have we achieved and
looked down on others? Does
any of this really make us great?
On the worldly stage, greatness
comes and it goes. Lasting great
ness comes through service,
According to Jesus, that individ
ual with the title is to serve oth
ers not vice versa. We, like others,
want to arrive. Too many times
we look at the glamour and we
forget the toil, the heartache
and the sacrifice. We seek the
"easy way." That doesn't last.
Lasting greatness comes from
doing God's will. Jesus, the
Master Teacher, lived the lesson.
Imagine coming to die for
humanity and spending your
time "helping." Can you
recall your frustration teaching
someone a simple lesson? What
about Jesus? Yet in all of His
patience and love he teaches on.
That, too, is part of true great
ness! What believers should be
seeking are those things that
last. The measure of greatness
is humility and service. Our
names don't need to be yelled
out from the church steeple, The
pastor doesn't need to have our
names rolling off his lips con
stantly. God sees us and knows
our hearts. In His own perfect
and divine way our efforts are
blessed.
