VYING FOR POSITION

Wednesday, May 2, 2012 - 1 Chronicles 16; Psalm 106; Matthew 19

S - Matthew 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

O - Jesus is speaking about entering the kingdom of heaven.

A - By the world's standards, we should go after what we want in life.  If we want power, prestige, positions of importance we should knock others over to get there.  But, by Jesus' standards, those who want to be with Jesus in the highest place, need to go lower still.  It's about humility, it's about serving others first, not taking the biggest cookie.  It's about serving instead of being served.
