[Manna - October 23]
Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. Matthew 20:27
AMONGST the Gentiles the rulers are lords, who
do no serving but are served, but among the followers
of Jesus the rule is to be reversed; he who would
serve most was to be esteemed most highly.
What a
beauty there is in the divine order of things!
How
thoroughly all who are right minded can sympathize
with the principles here laid down!
How reasonable
they are and how contrary to the spirit of the world.
Truly, the Lord's followers will in this sense of the
word be a peculiar people in their zeal for good works—for serving one another and for doing good unto
all men as they have opportunity. Z. '04-140 R3363:1
