SERVANTHOOD

Mark 10:35-45

35.Lumapit kay Jesus ang mga anak ni Zebedeo na sina Santiago at Juan. Sinabi nila, "Guro, may hihilingin po sana kami sa inyo."

36."Ano ang maipaglilingkod ko sa inyo?" tanong ni Jesus.

37.Sumagot sila, "Sana po ay makaupo kaming katabi ninyo sa inyong kaharian, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa."

SERVANTHOOD

Mark 10:35-4538. Ngunit sabi ni Jesus sa kanila, "Hindi ninyo

nalalaman ang inyong hinihingi. Maiinuman ba ninyo ang kopa na aking iinuman? Makakaya ba ninyo ang bautismong ibabautismo sa akin?"

39. "Opo," tugon nila. Sinabi ni Jesus, "Ang kopang aking iinuman ay iinuman nga ninyo, at babautismuhan nga kayo sa bautismong tatanggapin ko.

40. Ngunit hindi ako ang magpapasya kung sino ang mauupo sa aking kanan at sa aking kaliwa. Ang mga karangalang iyan ay para sa mga pinaglaanan."

SERVANTHOOD

Mark 10:35-4541.Nang malaman ito ng sampung alagad,

nagalit sila sa magkapatid. 42.Kaya't pinalapit sila ni Jesus at sinabi, "Alam

ninyo na ang mga itinuturing na pinuno ng mga Hentil ang siyang namumuno sa kanila, at ang mga dinadakila ang siyang nasusunod.

43.Ngunit hindi ganyan ang dapat umiral sa inyo. Sa halip, ang sinuman sa inyo na nais maging dakila ay dapat maging lingkod ninyo

SERVANTHOOD

Mark 10:35-45

44.at ang sinumang nais maging pinuno ay dapat maging alipin ng lahat.

45.Sapagkat ang Anak ng Tao ay naparito hindi upang paglingkuran kundi upang maglingkod at upang mag-alay ng kanyang buhay para sa ikatutubos ng marami."

PROCLAMATIONIII.V. 45 A SPIRITUAL PATTERN

SERVANTHOOD

A SELFISH PETITIONI.

SERVANTHOOD

A. The Request (vv. 35-37)

• They were literally asking for three things. They wanted Preeminence. They wanted the glory and honor that came from being elevated to a throne.

• They wanted Proximity. They wanted to be close to Jesus in the Kingdom.

• They also wanted Power. These men wanted to have positions of great authority in the coming kingdom.

SERVANTHOOD

What made them think that they could ask for such things?

SERVANTHOOD

Matthew 20:21"Ano ang gusto mo?" tanong ni Jesus. Sumagot siya, "Kapag naghahari na po kayo, paupuin ninyo sa inyong tabi ang dalawa kong anak, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa."

PADRINO

SERVANTHOOD

Matthew 19:28Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, "Tandaan ninyo: kapag naghahari na ang Anak ng Tao sa kanyang trono ng kaluwalhatian sa bagong daigdig, kayong sumunod sa akin ay uupo din sa labindalawang trono upang mamuno sa labindalawang lipi ng Israel.

PROMISE

SERVANTHOOD

• These men never did grasp the idea that their leader, the Lord Jesus Christ, was headed to a cross.

• All they could see was the crown. They wanted the crown without the cross.

• They wanted the glory without the pain. They wanted the reward without having to pay the price.

SERVANTHOOD

• The problem with the disciples is the same problem people have today.

• Most people are not concerned with the glory of God.

• All they care about is their own power, position and prestige.

• The problem with the disciples, and the problem with many of us, is that we are filled with pride.

• Pride always leads to defeat.

SERVANTHOOD

B. The Response (vv. 38-39a)

• When Jesus uses the word “cup” He is talking about “a life experience”.

• When He uses the word “baptism” He is referring to being “submerged or immersed” in that experience.

• Jesus is saying, “I am about to be immersed in an experience that you cannot imagine. Are you able to go through it too?”

SERVANTHOOD

• They tell Him that they can. • But these men do not understand what awaits

Jesus. • Their response reveals a complete lack of

understanding concerning what Jesus is about to suffer and of the load He was sent to carry.

ANO KAYO HILO?MAGAGAWA BA NINYO

ANG GAGAWIN KO?

BOSS… WALANG PROBLEMA! YAKANG

YAKA!

SERVANTHOOD

• Jesus is on His way to Calvary where He will bear the sins of His people on a Roman cross.

• Jesus is about to experience the undiluted wrath of Almighty God against sin and sinners.

• Jesus is about to die at the hands of the Heavenly Father.

SERVANTHOOD

C. The Revelation (vv. 39b-40)Ang kopang aking iinuman ay iinuman nga ninyo, at babautismuhan nga kayo sa bautismong tatanggapin ko. Ngunit hindi ako ang magpapasya kung sino ang mauupo sa aking kanan at sa aking kaliwa. Ang mga karangalang iyan ay para sa mga pinaglaanan.

SERVANTHOOD

• Jesus tells them that they will experience His anguish to a degree.

• They will die for their faith. • All of them died a martyr’s death, except

for John and he was exiled to Patmos and greatly persecuted for his faith.

• These men would walk the same road that Jesus walked, but they could never endure what He was about to suffer.

SERVANTHOOD

• Jesus tells them that positions in the kingdom would not be given out based on selfish ambition, but according to the will of sovereign God.

• The same is true in life! • What a person receives in this world in

terms of blessings, usefulness and ministry are all determined by the will of God.

SERVANTHOOD

A SOMBER PROCLAMATION

II.

SERVANTHOOD

A. The Exasperation (v. 41)HOY KAYONG MAG-UTOL…

MAG-AYOS NGA KAYO BAKA UPAKAN NAMIN KAYO!

SERVANTHOOD

• Let me just remind you that God cannot work in that kind of environment!

• When there is a problem between the saints of God, it hinders the work of God in His church.

• When there are hard hearts and hurt feelings among God’s people, there will be no power of God in the church house!

SERVANTHOOD

B. The Examination (v. 42)

Alam ninyo na ang mga itinuturing na pinuno ng mga

Hentil ang siyang namumuno sa kanila, at ang mga dinadakila ang

siyang nasusunod.

SERVANTHOOD

• Jesus doesn’t allow their anger to simmer. • He addresses the issue at hand and calls

their attention to the Gentile world around them.

• He lets them know that “high seat seeking” is the way of the world.

• Those who rule in this world rise to the top by grabbing power and oppressing their opponents.

SERVANTHOOD

• We see that mentality all around us in the world today.

• This is an election year and every candidate is doing everything in his or her power to come out on top.

• He wants the disciples, and us, to understand that God has a higher goal for His children.

SERVANTHOOD

C. The Expectation (vv. 43-44)Ngunit hindi ganyan ang dapat umiral sa inyo. Sa halip, ang sinuman sa inyo

na nais maging dakila ay dapat maging lingkod ninyo at ang sinumang nais

maging pinuno ay dapat maging alipin ng lahat.

SERVANTHOOD

• The Lord wants us to know that the path to the top leads through the bottom.

• If you really want to reach the top, you must start out at the bottom.

• If you really want to be a leader, you must first learn how to serve.

SERVANTHOOD

• The idea is this: if we want to be recognized and respected, we must give up all ambition and selfishness.

• We must live out our days serving others.• It means being willing to get none of the

glory. • If we want to come out on top, we must

first start by being a slave.

SERVANTHOOD

• We need people in the church who could care less if they are ever recognized as long as God’s work is accomplished.

• We need people who are willingly become slaves so that others are served.

• We need people who will graciously step aside when the time is right so that others can serve.

• That is what we need! Is that what we have?

SERVANTHOOD

A SPIRITUAL PATTERN

III.

SERVANTHOOD

A. The Prominence

Sapagkat ang Anak ng Tao ay naparito hindi upang paglingkuran kundi upang maglingkod at upang mag-alay ng kanyang buhay para

sa ikatutubos ng marami

SERVANTHOOD

• This verse reminds us of Who Jesus is. • He is the Son of God. • He is God in the flesh. • If anyone who ever walked on this earth

should have been served it should have been Jesus.

SERVANTHOOD

• He could have commanded legions of angels to do His every bidding.

• Instead, He walked many dusty miles serving those around Him.

• He could have come to this world as a King and been born in a palace with servants and great wealth.

• Instead, He was born in a stable, in abject poverty.

• He did not come to be served, He came to serve.

SERVANTHOOD

• If our God is willing to serve sinful humanity, we should be willing to serve as well.

• Some people think they are too good to serve others.

• Jesus Christ never thought that! • He got down into the mud with fallen man

so that He could lift him out and change his condition.

• May God give us that same heart to serve!

SERVANTHOOD

B. The Passion• The Lord’s passion

to serve was such that He willingly took the place of a slave.

• The greatest example of that can be seen the night before He went to the cross.

SERVANTHOOD

• He took the place of a slave and washed the dirty feet of men who would run away before dawn.

• He washed the feet of Peter who would deny Him three times before dawn.

SERVANTHOOD

• He even washed the feet of Judas Iscariot who would betray Him in to the hands of His enemies that very night.

SERVANTHOOD

• Jesus performed the greatest service of all when He went to Calvary to die on the cross for sinners who hated Him and wanted nothing to do with Him.

• Service was His passion. • Service was His life. • May that same passion grip our hearts! • May we freely take the place of slaves

and serve others for the glory of God alone!

SERVANTHOOD

C. The Price• The cost of service

for Jesus was extremely high.

• It cost Him His very life.

• Jesus willingly went to His death to save those who cared nothing for Him.

SERVANTHOOD

• He suffered the shame, the pain, the humiliation, and the agony of the cross to serve lost sinners.

• He experienced the undiluted wrath of Almighty God to serve us.

SERVANTHOOD

• He took the place of a common criminal and was judged as rebel so that sinners could be saved.

• He willingly entered into death so that others might enter into life.

SERVANTHOOD

• Why did He do it? He did it because He loves me, Romans 5:8.

• He did it because He hates sin, Hebrew 9:26.

SERVANTHOOD

• He did it to satisfy God’s demand for a perfect human sacrifice, 1 John 2:2.

• He did it to please the Father, Isaiah 53:10.

• He did it to set me free, 1 Peter 1:18-19.

SERVANTHOOD

CONCLUSION

• It is a paradox, but it is true nonetheless, for the Christian the way up is always down.

• Is that the path you are walking? • Are you actively seeking ways to serve

others?

SERVANTHOOD

CONCLUSION

• We have places of ministry in this church where you can serve, are you serving in them?

• There are people all around us who need to know about Jesus, are you telling them?

SERVANTHOOD

CONCLUSION

• There are needs on every hand, are you seeking to meet them?

• Are you being a servant of God by selflessly serving others?

• If the Lord has touched your heart about your service, today would be a good day to enlist.

SERVANTHOOD

LET US PRAY!
