Kingdom Thinking
BY JOSH MANN
T
he disciples were the first to encounter this lesson. Jesus observed the apostle John in his quest for greatness in the Kingdom of God. Jesus essentially said to him, “that’s not how we do it here.” He went on to urge John to not pursue greatness for greatness sake, but to simply “love one another.” John was an accomplished, hard-charging businessman whose desire was to do great things for the kingdom of God. But by the end of his life of following Jesus, he understood it. The encouragement to his peers was to “love one another.”
