Greatness Awaits

John 12:26

Whoever serves Christ must follow Christ
Where he is, so is the servant is sufficed;
Our Heavenly Father will honor the one,
Who serves Christ beyond the setting sun;
This is about greatness in His kingdom,
With a reward of knowledge and wisdom;
In Heaven in order to become really great,
You be a servant to determine your fate;
Whoever wants to be first must be a slave,
Just as Christ prior from out of the grave;
He came to serve rather than be served,
So salvation can and would be preserved;
Giving His earthly life out for a ransom,
For others to see the Heavenly awesome;
Jesus served to wash His disciples' feet,
As a servant before taking His own seat;
You start at the bottom before the top,
Even if it means you have a floor to mop;
The law of greatness gives them credit,
Those of who are servants as a debit.
