3 Views of Following Yeshua

These 3 status updates were on my facebook page. I thought the varying perspectives were interesting. Can you guess which one I posted?

Yeshua told his disciples that if they wanted to be great in the kingdom they needed to be a servant. How did people understand the role of a servant in that time? They were typically unnoticed and were seen as little more than a useful piece of furniture.

THINKING ABOUT YOU,ITS ALL ABOUT YOU.YOU HAVE BEEN PREDESTINED TO BE GREAT AND SO YOU ARE...YOU HAVE PREDESTINED TO BE THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH,YOU HAVE PREDESTINED TO THE THRONE,YOU HAVE BEEN PREDISTINED TO RULE FOREVER....AND SO YOU ARE AS THE WORD HAS SAID,HALLELUJAH JESUS

This is the hour that all Apostles and Prophets, Pastors and other leaders are being tested to reveal their motives and the authenticity of their message. Many will be found wanting, but to those who embrace the central message of Jesus, they will come into the most productive time of ministry in their lives.

It's the first one of course, and I find it very interesting. I have never thought of the servant role in that light. But it makes perfect sense in light of Jesus' other teachings about humility, praying in secret, giving in secret, etc.

So many people are caught following great people, thinking they are following Yeshua. Sadly, many leaders don't know that their role as a servant is to help but never get in the way.
