Being Great


Matthew 23:11-12 NASB
11 But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

There are two words that are often translated as servant. 
We are all called to serve others and to obey His commands.

CWS LEX:
Those who serve at a feast are doúloi, but those who execute the king’s sentence are diákonoi

diakonos * dee-ak'-on-os * Probably from διάκω diakō (obsolete, to run on errands; compare G1377)
