Matthew 20:24-28

1. We learn that there may be pride, jealousy, and love of preeminence even among true disciples of Christ.
2. We learn that a life of self-denying kindness to others is the true secret of greatness in the kingdom of Christ.
3. We learn that the Lord Jesus Christ is intended to be the example of all true Christians.
4. We learn from these verses that Christ's death was an atonement for sin.

"Happy is that man who is truly humble, strives to do good in his day, walks in the steps of Jesus, and rests all his hopes on the ransom paid for him by Christ's blood. Such a man is a true Christian!"
