And the winner is…. last place!

“He sat down and summoned the Twelve. “So you want first place? Then take the last place. Be the servant of all.” (Mark 9:35 The Message)

 I was awestruck while reading this passage. It’s clear and concise. No ambiguity. No interpretation needed. No bible dictionary or lexicons needed. It’s plain and simple. If you want to be first, then take the back seat. Allow yourself to be used by God and put others first. I know it can be hard because we’re human and we want “our stuff”.
