Power. Glory. Success. Throughout human history these have captured the hearts of men and women. In the midst of a society which measures worth by position and wealth, it is no wonder that Christians have struggled to stand for the values of the kingdom of God: humility, self-denial, gentleness, love. In the eyes of the world these are often signs of weakness rather than strength.

1. What images come to your mind when you hear the word servant? Is it positive or negative?
2. In what ways do you struggle with seeing yourself as a servant?
