Verse of the Day (January 29, 2020) #BMSeminary – [sat down] Rabbis usually sat down to teach (cf. Matt. 15:29; Luke 4:20; 5:3; John 8:2). [If anyone would be first] As the disciples undeniably desired (Mark 9:34; cf. 10:35–37). [last of all and servant of all] The disciples’ concept of greatness and leadership, drawn from their culture, needed to be completely reversed. Not those who lord their position over others are great in God’s kingdom, but those who humbly serve others (cf. 10:31; 43–45; Matt. 19:30–20:16; 23:11–12; Luke 13:30; 14:8–11; 18:14; 22:24–27).
