Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 10:44

"and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all." — Mark 10:44 (ASV)

And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

And that is the way to be truly great in the Church of God. It is to be less and less in your own esteem, and willing to be nothing.

The way up is downward. That is not a contradiction, but it is a paradox. Sink, and you will rise.

Be willing to serve the very least, and you will have honor among your fellow believers.

Remember that the King of kings was the servant of servants. Whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
