The disciples did not grasp the importance of the Last Supper. They soon began to argue among themselves as to who would have the highest rank in the kingdom of God. Each one of them accused the other of being the thief and the traitor, considering himself the best, the faithful, and the one brought more near to God. The devil tempted them even at that holy hour of the covenant, for the disciples were not yet filled with the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, their Lord preached them and likened them to the kings of the earth, for every servant of the Lord is greater than the greatest king in the world. Our heavenly Father has enough suns to give each one of his children a set of suns. The essence of the children of God is not haughtiness and longing for greatness, but humility and service. Yet even service is opposed to falling into the danger of sin. If the servant was willing to be called "a generous benefactor" as he smells the incense of men’s applaud with his humble face, then the code of conduct in the new covenant, and the fundamental truth in the kingdom of God is that the greatest is a servant of all. Jesus himself exemplified this rule before us. He humbled himself taking away our sins to the full extent that he was considered a criminal. As he washed his disciples’ dirty feet, so he purifies our polluted hearts, and removes all their dirt. Who is the greatest in the church? Is it the young man, or the old man? Christ answers: "It is he who serves silently." Who is more famous in heaven? Is it the leader, or the led subject? Christ answers: "The humble prayer has his name written in heaven." We shall be surprised in the world to come, when we see that some of the faithful servants are notable than the leaders who are poor in love. Some of the princes on earth will appear as slaves of their sins in the other world. The kingdom of God completely turns the measures of men upside down, making the small great, and the great small. So what about you? Are you small, or great?
