In Luke 9, Jesus has achieved "rock star" status as everyone wants to be near him. Word has spread about all the wonderful things he has done and he is the point person of a powerful movement. What is it that always had the potential for destroying a great movement of God? It is the same today as it was then… Pride. Pride goes before the fall and pride was rearing it's ugly head with Jesus' followers. We find them arguing about who is the greatest. This was another Divine appointment for Jesus to prepare the disciples for what real ministry is all about, taking what we are great at, and using it to serve others.
