耶稣叫他们来对他们说、你们知道、外邦人有尊为君王的、治理他们．有大臣操权管束他们。 只是在你们中间、不是这样．你们中间、谁愿为大、就必作你们的用人． 在你们中间、谁愿为首、就必作众人的仆人。 因为人子来、并不是要受人的服事、乃是要服事人、并且要舍命、作多人的赎价。
English
But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

马可福音这段对话发生在门徒讨论地位的语境中。耶稣以服事重新解释伟大，也以自己的使命说明这条道路。 新人提出不同做法，我担心多年经验不再被重视。耶稣对地位的回应提醒我，服事不是守住不可替代的位置。经验可以成为帮助别人参与的礼物。 今天的一小步：听完新建议，再提出一项可共同尝试的改进。
English
This conversation in Mark concerns the disciples' desire for status. Jesus redefines greatness through service and illustrates the path through his own mission. A new volunteer suggests a different approach, and I fear my experience no longer matters. Jesus' response to status reminds me that service is not about remaining indispensable. Experience can help someone else participate. A small step today: Hear the suggestion fully, then propose one improvement to try together.

天父，新人提出不同做法，我担心多年经验不再被重视。求你帮助我在你的话语中看清自己的需要与责任。耶稣对地位的回应提醒我，服事不是守住不可替代的位置。经验可以成为帮助别人参与的礼物。 请赐我勇气，让我愿意这样回应：听完新建议，再提出一项可共同尝试的改进。 愿我在还不确定的地方继续信靠，也愿意接受合适的陪伴。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Father, A new volunteer suggests a different approach, and I fear my experience no longer matters. Help me see my needs and responsibilities through your word. Jesus' response to status reminds me that service is not about remaining indispensable. Experience can help someone else participate. Give me courage to respond: Hear the suggestion fully, then propose one improvement to try together. Help me trust where things remain uncertain and receive fitting company. In Jesus' name, amen.
