Jeremiah 18:18-20; Psalm 31; Matthew 20:17-28

A servant of all

Jealousy and pride can easily creep into our lives and undermine the good intentions we have. The mother of Zebedee’s sons was wanting honour and status for them in the kingdom of heaven. But she misunderstood what this kingdom is about. It is a place for the humble and the lowly. The kingdom is about being a servant of all and not wishing to lord it over others. We need to be on our guard against these destructive attitudes.
