Not so with you
There's always a Pecking Order in the Kingdom of this Earth. You can tell it, in subtle ways. Who gives way when two people are talking at the same time? Whose jokes are laughed at, even when they're not funny? You see this going on in offices. Who is allowed to ramble and pontificate in conversation, and who isn't? Who has to say, ?I'm sorry, ? and who doesn't have to say ?I'm sorry?? Go to a high school cafeteria. You will find a table where the jocks and cheerleaders sit together, and no geeky guy would ever try to go sit there. Why not? There are no rules against it. It's the Law of the Pecking Order.

It is stronger by far than any law that any government will ever pass. Nobody will violate it, because everybody knows how a human being can be crushed by it. It just crushes the spirit. This is the way things are in the Kingdom of this Earth. And Jesus says,

  • ?You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.? ''vs. 25''

    Of course. That's the way things go. Then He says these four words that change everything: Not so with you.

    There is no one who has given up home,brothers or sisters,mother,father or children,or land,
    for my sake and for the gospel,who will not receive in this age a hundred times as much-houses, brothers and sisters,mothers and children,and land-and persecutions besides;and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last,and the last first.Mark 10:28-31

    Jesus`s serve
    When He was on earth He did His miracle, cast away the devil, heal the people, teach people. Of course He is still serving us by His holy spirit, because Jesus, Father and Holy spirit is one individual. By His holy spirit He teach us, make His miracle and do the same job as He did 2000 years ago.

    In what ways did Jesus serve when He was on earth? In what ways is He still serving now?
    Nurturing us with his sacrifice and His Word - the first giving us strenght and the second - it is the Water with which we can help grow the seeds our actions fruits of a pure soul a healthy fif tree. That childhood song comes to mind...per fare l`albero ci vuole il frutto per fare il frutto ci vuole l`albero per fare l`albero ci vuole il seme per fare il seme ci vuole il frutto. In essence to make the tree you need the seed to make the seed you need the fruit to make the fruit you need the seed and to make the seed you need the tree etc etc...

    Hello dear friends, Jesus served while he was still on earth both spiritually and phyisicall and actually and economically.When Jesus was performing miracles and preaching good new about the kingdom, this was spiritual serving and when he fed the crowd with fish and bread this was phyiscal serving and when he paid the tax , remember when he met the tax collectors and he told Simon peter to go into the lake and get afish and inside it there`s acoin to me this was economic serving of Jesus while on earth. However Jesus is still serving now by performing miracles which any one can see .Ihad no money for school and he figured it out for me and he has healed my friends most of all I have the holy spirit who inspires me and shows me direction .To me this is Jesus at work.

    Jesus came among us, to teach us, to sacrifice for us, to love us, to forgive us, to give us everything we need. Jesus is still serving now as His spirit, teachings, love, forgiveness, provisions and word endures. He serves through us as we are followers of Christ so that we may show the great love that Christ has for us.

    When Jesus was on earth he really served a lot and he never gave up even if He was mocked by the multitude He Continued doing good. He fed the hungry, healed the sick and encouraged the discouraged and raised the dead from the dead. He also cried with those who were crying and sypathised with those who were sorrowful. Also today he is still serving the same to those who believe in Him. He is there for those who are lonely He has promised us that He shall never leave us alone and that He will keep His eyes on us all the time to keep us safe from our enemies only if we believe in Him and obey to his voice.

    A Mother's Request

    Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him. He said to her, "What do you want?"
    She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."
    But Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
    They said to him, "We are able."
    He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
    When the ten heard it, they were indignant with the two brothers.
    But Jesus summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant, even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
