Dispute and Denial

 (ID: 2335)

Even at the Passover meal, the disciples bickered about who was the greatest among them. Jesus, however, taught them that in His kingdom, the greatest should be most willing to serve others. Following Jesus’ example, Alistair Begg reminds us that pride is one of the most difficult pitfalls for a believer. Rather than striving for self-reliance, we ought to rely on the Savior who intercedes for us.
