前言Introduction:
主耶稣的教导是革命性的，彻底扭转我们许多固有的想法。最后一趟去耶路撒冷的路上，祂不断教导门徒“许多在前的将要在后，在后的将要在前”。门徒以为祂来是领导一场人间反抗暴政侵略的革命，跟随祂能得到好处，却不明白祂将上十字架受死，跟随祂的人要先舍弃。
～
The
teaching of Jesus is revolutionary, totally reversed many of our
inherent thinking. On the last journey to Jerusalem, he kept teaching
them “many who are first will be last, and the last first.” The
disciples thought he came to lead a worldly revolution to overthrow
foreign tyranny, and following him will lead to many benefits.
However, they did not understand he is going to die on the cross, and
those who follow him will have to first give up.

結論与应用
Conclusion
and Application:

1.
从哪里看出耶稣是主，从哪里看出祂是仆？我们是应当把祂当作仆人，还是主人？
~
How can we see that Jesus is the Lord? How can we see that he is a
servant? Are we going to treat Him like a Lord or servant?

2.
为何每个基督徒都要效法主耶稣牺牲服事的榜样，而不仅是“领袖们”？
~
Why should every Christian follow Jesus’ example of sacrificial
serving, not only the “leaders”?

3.
默想并背诵马太福音
20:
28：“正如人子来，不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人。并且要舍命，作多人的赎价。”

Meditate
on and Memorize Matthew 20: 28: “Just as the Son of Man did not
come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many.”
