This episode reveals that in God's kingdom, leadership is inverted from worldly leadership. While the world's rulers lord their authority over others and flaunt their power, Jesus teaches that whoever wants to be a leader must be a servant, and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of everyone else. Through Jesus's own example—coming not to be served but to serve, and giving His life as a ransom for many—we discover what true greatness looks like. Through guided meditation and a practical daily habit of humble service, learn how to lead by serving and to measure greatness by how many you serve. Join us as we explore what it means to lead like Jesus in an upside-down kingdom. 8:23 no <p>Explore servant leadership in this contemplative Christian devotional based on Mark 10:35-45. Discover why the greatest in God's Kingdom are those who serve. In Episode 276 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, Jesus challenges James and John's desire for positions of honor by revealing that leadership in God's kingdom is measured by service, not power. Learn why Jesus—the King of Kings—came not to be served but to serve, and what it means to lead by humbling yourself and putting others first. This guided meditation and daily spiritual practice will challenge you to flip the world's definition of leadership upside down.

Jesus really felt the weight of what was going to happen to him, from the betrayal, abandonment, rejection, beating and crucification. He really wanted to skip all of this if he could, but in perfect obedience, he went through it. I’m glad that he went through all of this, because we have a God who knows exactly what we feel and has been through it and worse, quite frankly. When I am tempted to tell God that he doesn’t know what I’m going through, this is the gentle reminder that he does and he cares for me. 10:37 no <p>I was struck by the depth of pain that Jesus was in while he was praying in the garden.
