John 13:12-17

Matthew 18:1-4
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
He
called a little child and had him stand among them.
And
he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and
become like
little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Slide7

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heavenSlide8

Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
Jesus
said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. Slide9
Luke 22:24-26
But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.Slide10
John 13:12-17
When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place
. “
Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.
“You
call me
‘Teacher’ and
‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.
Now
that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. Slide11
John 13:12-17
I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
I
tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
Now
that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.Slide12
Philippians 2:3-11
Do
nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Each
of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Your
attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:Slide13
Philippians 2:3-11
Who, being in very nature
God,
did
not consider equality
with God something
to be
grasped, but
made himself
nothing,
taking
the very nature of a
servant,
being
made in human likeness
.
And being found in appearance as a
man,
he
humbled
himself
and
became obedient to
death—
even
death on a cross!Slide14
Philippians 2:3-11
Therefore God exalted him to the highest
place
and
gave him the name that is above every
name,
that
at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow,
in
heaven and on earth and under the
earth,
and
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord,
to
the glory of God the Father.Slide15
