Jesus took His disciples and told them what would befall Him, how he would be taken and sentenced to death and raised from death.
The Mother of Zebedees children came with her son's and knelt asking if she would be given favour that her son's be given the right to sit on the right and left of the throne but Jesus asked whether they were willing to pay the price of taking the cup He took and they said yes. Jesus said indeed they would but those positions were reserved for the His Father.
The others were indignant hearing this and Jesus took them and taught them on how to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Those who wish to be greatest but servants of others and those who wish to be first must the slave. Just like Jesus did not come to be served but to serve angry give His life a ransom for many.
A slave has no rights of His own and yet He must do everything faithfully and not demand anything from anyone. THATS THE GREATEST.
Looking at the example of Jesus, how He ascended to the highest place in heaven, and since came as a man in every way, faced ever temptations that men face and overcame, we can also learn how to be the greatest in heaven. Heb 2:17, 4:15
Eph 2:5-11
Let Jesus be your example in humility.
He was equal to God but didn't grasp that position as God. He stripped Himself of all privileges as God became as a human being.
He took no reputation as a very important person but He became a slave.
He humbled himself further to die the worst death as a criminal.
This is why God exalted Him to the highest place.
Heb 12:1-4
We are told to run the race fixing our eyes on Jesus who for the joy set before Him ENDURED the cross despising it's shame and is sitted at the right hand of the Father. He grievously was contradicted by evil men and resisted sin even unto bloodshed .
Rev 3:21
He that overcome as Jesus overcame will be granted the right to sit with Him on the throne
From these 3passages of scriptures we see how to sit with Jesus.
The secret is in overcoming every temptation to sin and resisting it and victory is found as we seek to humble ourselves further and further.
Thus THE 10 SECRETS OF AN OVERCOMING CHRISTIAN LIFE ARE.
1. HUMILITY
2. HUMILITY
3. HUMILITY
4. HUMILITY
5. HUMILITY
6. HUMILITY
7. HUMILITY
