Mark 9:35 (NASB) "Sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”"We were excited to get into the concert and find our seats before the performance began but the line outside was very long! Today's verse shares Jesus' Words to His 12 and to us today, about being first and being last! After waiting about 20 minutes, we were close to getting in and that's when we seen a car pull up and out came a wife and her husband. He was in wheelchair and carried his oxygen tank with him. They looked at the long line behind us and you could see the disappointment in their faces, realizing what a long wait it would be to get in. That's when my wife and I let them cut the line!! It wasn't a popular decision but it was a godly one. Letting them go first made our wait a little longer but made our hearts glad! Being last and a servant of all isn't a bad thing, it's a state of mind to be like Jesus! Even a small gesture can change a person's life! peace, tom
