Normalt vil et kongeriges administration blive styret en slags omvendt pyramidestruktur, hvor … But Jesus summoned them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28

Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:42-45

He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them and those in authority over them are addressed as ‘Benefactors’; but among you it shall not be so. Rather, let the greatest among you be as the youngest, and the leader as the servant. For who is greater: the one seated at table or the one who serves? Is it not the one seated at table? I am among you as the one who serves. Luke 22:25-27

So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do. Truly, truly, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it. John 13:12-17


God’s Kingdom is upside-down from the world. What king sacrifices himself for his subjects? What great man serves those under his authority? In a world that says, “Do as I say, not as I do.” We are told in Philippians 2:5-11, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Jesus tells us that this life is a race to the bottom. The goal is to serve, not to be served. The goal is to sacrifice for others benefit rather than for our own. The goal is not to make a name for ourselves but to serve without recognition. The reward is eternal while the pain is temporary. The reward is far greater than the sacrifice. Be like Jesus.

Luk 10:25 Da rejste en lovkyndig sig og ville sætte Jesus på prøve og spurgte ham: »Mester, hvad skal jeg gøre for at arve evigt liv?« v26 Han sagde til ham: »Hvad står der i loven? Hvad læser du dér?« v27 Manden svarede: »Du skal elske Herren din Gud af hele dit hjerte og af hele din sjæl og af hele din styrke og af hele dit sind, og din næste som dig selv.« v28 Jesus sagde: »Du har svaret rigtigt. Gør det, så skal du leve.« v29 Men han ville retfærdiggøre sig selv og spurgte Jesus: »Hvem er så min næste?« v30 Jesus svarede og sagde: »En mand var på vej fra Jerusalem ned til Jeriko og faldt i hænderne på røvere. De trak tøjet af ham og slog ham, så gik de og lod ham ligge halvdød. v31 Tilfældigvis kom en præst den samme vej; han så manden, men gik forbi. v32 Det samme gjorde en levit, der kom til stedet; også han så ham og gik forbi. v33 Men en samaritaner, som var på rejse, kom hen til ham, og han fik medynk med ham, da han så ham. v34 Han gik hen og hældte olie og vin i hans sår og forbandt dem, løftede ham op på sit ridedyr og bragte ham til et herberg og sørgede for ham. v35 Næste dag tog han to denarer frem, gav værten dem og sagde: Sørg for ham, og hvad mere du lægger ud, vil jeg betale dig, når jeg kommer tilbage. v36 Hvem af disse tre synes du var en næste for ham, der faldt i røvernes hænder?« v37 Den lovkyndige svarede: »Han, som viste ham barmhjertighed.« Og Jesus sagde: »Gå du hen og gør ligeså!«
