Throughout history, you have these moments in time, where God uses a people to place his character and glory on display in dramatic fashion. And as Dr. King put it, it was the ground crew and pilot of this flight of freedom that we all find ourselves passengers on, that displayed this to us. That took the superior position of great glory for our sake.

But here is the problem we are forced to face when listening to this poetic inspiration of Dr. King… we don’t believe him. We believe that being served is where the Glory is found. We believe that the position of honor are those at the head of the table. In this metaphor, first class. That glory, honor is found when our lives are seated above others.

But what we have in the words of Jesus is something so profoundly opposite, that it demands our attention. Jesus seems to propose, that glory is not found in taking the position of authority, but in taking the position of servant.
