"The greatest among you must be your servant." (Matthew 23: 11).
The tale of two Lords.
Jesus is Lord. Caesar is Lord.
One Lord rides into cities on chariots driven by soldiers with whips used to control the crowd. The other Lord rides into the city on a humble donkey. One Lord waits to be served by numerous servants. The other Lord says: "But I am among you as one who serves." (Luke 22: 27).
One Lord dies, is buried and eaten by worms in his grave. The other Lord dies on the cross and after three days rose from the dead as predicted.
After death, one Lord is forgotten by history while the other Lord is Lord of history and continues to live and reign forever.
"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23: 12).
