Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The disciples were arguing about who was the greatest. When faced with news of Jesus' death, their minds went to who among them would be the greatest. It became all about them. But before you cast aspersions on the disciples, let's know that we do this too. It's part of our sinful human nature. It's just that some of us hide it better than others. For you can't think about the kingdom of God like you think about things in the world. So you want to be great? Remember your baptism. That there in those waters Jesus received you and made you great because He made you a child of God.
