Jesus teaches people to be humble

About the next group of questions

Jesus had just told his followers to remember what he would do for other people. Now we read that the disciples began to argue.

Pray

Ask God to help you as you study today.

Read: Luke 22:24-30

22:24 What were the disciples arguing about?

22:25 How do kings and rulers act towards other people?

22:26 How should a ruler behave?

22:27 Who is the more important person in Jesus’ example? What sort of a person was Jesus like?

22:28 What good thing had the disciples done, although they were weak and sinful?

22:29 What reward will Jesus give to his apostles?

22:30 What rights would the disciples have in the Kingdom of God? Who will the disciples rule over in the Kingdom of God?

Final remarks

Jesus set an example that all rulers should follow. He served his disciples. They would have important places in his kingdom. But they needed to learn a lesson: Rulers serve those that they rule over. That was the lesson.

Pray

Lord, help me to follow the example of Jesus by serving other people. Amen.
