A person's station and reputation in life is being elevated but it all starts with an act of humility. The act of kneeling, submitting, and pledging allegiance to a monarch leads to a greater status. This reminds us of Jesus' teaching on what it means to be great in the kingdom of God. To be great in the kingdom of God is to be a servant of all. This is what we will be looking at in today's message, and we begin the first of two messages relating to the Last Supper.
