The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. (Matthew 23:11, 12 NLT)
Most of the time the ways of God turn everything you know upside down. For instance, the natural process of advancement in our world is to push yourself forward and demand respect from others. However, Jesus says the greatest are the ones that humbly serve others. He inverts the entire process of what it means to succeed in life and makes it achievable for everyone. God isn't impressed by how many people hang on your every word and/or wait on your every wish. What He wants to know is how often you humble yourself to serve the least among us.
