𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘'𝐒 𝐆𝐎𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐋 Matthew 20:20-28

The Gospel of Matthew wants to remind us that the true meaning of Christian service is not measured by any rank or power. It is all about the willingness to serve while accepting the reality that, while we serve others, we might not receive anything in return from them. This is a perfect example of our call to humility, wherein, as God's people, we should maintain a humble heart and avoid being self-righteous. We are given the mission to spread His word and let other people know more about Him and His love. We can do this triumphantly if we preach about Him with humble hearts and spirits alone, without any other intentions.
