Radical Transformation (4 of 7)

Philippians 2:3-7

Becoming a servant is a radical transformation because we are born and ''lean'' so much toward selfishness.
Jesus had just been asked who of His disciples were going to get to sit on His right and left. His response?
Matthew 20:26-28 (NASB95)
26''It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,
27and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;
28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for ...
