Being the greatest in the kingdom -- Mark 9:30-35: Jesus again taught His disciples that, "The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day." (Mark 9:31) They did not understand what He was talking about when He spoke of His death, burial and resurrection.

Jesus knew that the disciples had been talking among themselves as to who was greatest in the kingdom. He explained that humility is what exalts. He that is greatest is the person that serves the others most. Jesus used a little child to explain both the attitude and the service that must be rendered. Those that serve a little child are serving the Lord.
