Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all (Mark 10:44).
Is Jesus trying to teach you the same old lesson?
Earlier we observed how Jesus clearly laid out to His disciples His path of suffering, death, and resurrection (Mark 9:31). His followers miss the message because they are too consumed debating about their future greatness (Mark 9:34). Jesus repeats to His disciples about His suffering and resurrection, but with greater detail (Mark 10:33-34). What is their response? “Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, ‘Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask’” (Mark 10:35). After Jesus had explained all that He will endure they insensitively ask for a blank check from Him to be written out for their future greatness. The Lord expresses that our future greatness will come if we identify with His sufferings and become slaves of all.
Employment Point: Willingly suffer for Jesus and serve everyone for future greatness.
