Ruling Under, Not Over

The Kingdom of Heaven is an invitation to be strengthened and led, not beaten and pushed.

When the other 10 disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.

Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles dominate them, and their men of high positions exercise power over them. But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life—a ransom for many.”                                                                           (Mark 10:41-45 from Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®)
