Ruling Or Serving

“You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all.” (Mark 10:42b-44)

Ruling or serving
Who is recognized as “great”?
Whose name will I find in history books?

Seen above (and on home-page mastheads): “The Humble Servant” by Roger M. Beattie in the current ECVA exhibition, "Recognition & Return."

Readings are from Streams of Mercy: a meditative commentary on the Bible by Ann Kristin Haldors Fontaine (used with permission of the author).
