33And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” –Mark 9

1. Jesus paid attention to their travel conversation that He wasn’t included in. Convicting!
2. They obviously felt embarrassed because they were talking about selfish things around Jesus.
3. Jesus equated leadership with serving.
4. You may indeed be the low person on the org chart at work. You may answer to everyone or have many bosses. But be the servant of all with your attitude and Jesus considers you great. Tell yourself that daily!
5. What attitude do you bring with you into your marriage? Parenting? Friendships? Workplace?–JMB
