Jesus looks at life upside-down. In God’s kingdom, things work differently. Jesus didn’t come to rule and be served. He came to serve and to give his life for us. Jesus made himself the very last, the servant of all, so that from the bottom he could lift up and save and forgive us all. That’s why you don’t have to fight to get to the top. Jesus puts you there. You are his child by grace! Then Jesus turns to you and me and says, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all” (Mark 9:35). Whom can you serve today, as Jesus served you? Whom can you place yourself under today, just as Jesus humbled himself for us? I hope you listen to this sermon: “Upside-Down.” Jesus loves you!
