  • Becoming GreatThe Art of GreatnessJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Luke 22:24-30 NIV__________ Luke 22:24-30 NIV24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 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. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. John 15:13 NIVGreater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Philippians 2:5–7 NIV5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Matthew 25:21 NIV“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Proverbs 25:21 NIVIf your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 1 Peter 4:8 NIVAbove all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1) LEARN TO HUMBLY RECEIVEJohn 13:2-8 NIVThe evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” 2) TAKE TIME TO SEE WHAT GOD MIGHT SEEMatthew 5:41 NIVIf anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 1 John 4:20 NIVWhoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. Galatians 6:2 NIVCarry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3) DEDICATE DAILY WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME1 Peter 4:10 NIV10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. Acts 9:36 NIV36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. Acts 9:39 NIVPeter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them. 4) TRUST GOD FOR OUR DEFICITHebrews 6:10 NIVGod is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Colossians 3:24 NIV24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 2 Corinthians 9:10 NIVNow he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
