Demonstration Of Royal Service Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 1, 2024

Jesus had so little time left for His disciples to learn that the way to glory is through service and not through position and authority.

The discussion was heated. They were caught up in the ambition for position and power and authority. Surely this ...read more

Humility Of Christ

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024

In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more
