In ‘True Greatness and the ransom’, visiting speaker Andy Arscott looks at Mark 10:35-45
Andy preaches on the stark contrast between worldly ambition and Kingdom greatness.
Focusing on the request of James and John to sit at Jesus’ right and left hands, the message highlights how the disciples still misunderstood Jesus’ mission, seeking glory while He was marching toward suffering.
The preach culminates in the definition of true Christian leadership: self-sacrificial service, modelled by Jesus giving His life as a ransom.
How do we apply this Bible teaching practically?
In the Church: We must resist the “climbing” mentality. If you want to be great in the church, pick up a towel, not a title. Look for the unglamorous tasks (setting up chairs, cleaning, caring for the unnoticed).
In Relationships: The root of conflict (like the ten disciples getting indignant) is often self-glory. The cure is looking at the Cross. When we realize how much we have been served by Jesus, our demand to be served by others melts away.
The post Andy Arscott: True Greatness and the Ransom first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.
