Would your pastor change diapers

Would your Pastor change diapers in the nursery?

Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. 
“What is it you want?” he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” 
“You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered. 
Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.” 
When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.  
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.  
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,  
and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—  
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” 
Matthew 20:20-28
Question, would your pastor changed dirty diapers in the nursery? Would you? Just how much of a servant are you?
Jesus said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first must be your slave”
Over the years I’ve met many people who want to be in positions of authority in the church and are disappointed when they are not given a chance.
At one church I attended when our children were small I took my then baby son into the nursery to see an man in his mid fifties in suit and tie helping changing a babies  very smelly diaper. In the process the baby peed wetting the mans jacket.
He finished changing the child removed his jacket and hung it up going on to tend to and play with the children.
Later in the week early one evening I seen the same man on his hands and knees weeding the flower beds around the church.
Being new to the church I didn’t know much about this man other than his name. Still the man impressed me with his willingness to do whatever needed to be done.
It wasn’t until a few weeks later at a church business meeting that I was introduced to him formally.
He turned out to be one of the church board members and a vice president of a major Canadian bank.
The man was very humble and liked to help out were he could, nothing was beneath him.
This is the kind of thing Jesus is saying here in Matthew 20:20-28.
We as Christians need to realize that we are servants not only of God but of our fellow believers and of our fellow man.
We are servants of the most high God and therefor have a duty to take His word to the world around us with a humble heart.
Luke records Jesus as saying,
“Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all—he is the greatest.” 
                         Luke 9:48.
I believe we cannot truly reach people for Christ without being humble.
In order to reach people successfully we need to humble ourselves and present the gospel message in an unoffensive way. A way that shows the love and mercy of God.
Someone who fails to do this will not reach people for Christ.
We as Christians need to look at our lives and see if it lines up with what Christ wants for us.
Remember Jesus said,
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” 
                                     Matthew 11:29.
Jesus was a very humble person. In his time on this earth he reached thousands of people. And the movement he started has reached the world.
It did not do this by being proud and puffed up. It did it through love and humbleness of spirit.
Which is what we as Christians need to show to the whole world.
It is only when we truly humble ourselves as Christ did that we can even approach greatness.
Think about.
