“But it shall not be so among you. Rather,

whoever wishes to be great among you will

be your servant; whoever wishes to be first

among you will be the slave of all. For the

Son of Man did not come to be served but

to serve and to give his life as a ransom for

many.” - Mk 10:43-45

29th Sunday in Ordinary Time

"Whoever wishes to be great

among you will be your

servant." In the wake of

James and John's vanity,

Jesus offers this directive.

These two apostles had been

thinking in terms of

prominence, glory, and worldly honor. They wanted

their association with Jesus to lead to public

recognition and respect as they took their places at his

right and left. But Jesus put them in their place.

As was typical of so many of his teachings, Jesus upset

the status quo. He told his followers that, although

"great ones make their authority over them felt ... it

shall not be so among you." Then, he put forward this

clear image of the servant leader: "Whoever wishes to

be first among you will be the slave of all." As

followers of Christ, this instruction applies to us as

well. We are called to the humility of service that seeks

neither personal glory nor gain. We are called to use

what authority we may have in the world for the

benefit of our brothers and sisters, not for the sake of

stroking our own egos. It's easy to pat ourselves on the

back for the good works that we do--to think that we

are superior Christians, that others owe us a debt of

gratitude, or that our names should be engraved on a

public placard in some noteworthy hall. But Jesus calls

us to a different standard--the one he himself

exemplified through his life of service.

At the same time, today's Gospel gives us cause to

meditate upon our association with Jesus and what we

hope to get out of it. Why are we Christian? Are we

only after the glory of heaven? Are we afraid to

publicly profess our

faith when it might

hurt our reputation?

Or are we in this for

the love of the Lord,

who came into this

world "to serve and

to give his life as a

ransom" for us?
