True greatness is found in serving others, not in seeking to be first. Jesus taught his disciples that whoever desires to be first must be the slave of all. The parable of two friends at dinner, where one selflessly gives the other the larger piece of fish, illustrates this principle of humility and service. The core lesson is that genuine leadership and significance are achieved through selfless service, not through self-promotion. Ultimately, embracing the role of a servant is the path to true greatness in God's eyes.

Have you ever heard the story of two friends that met for dinner in a restaurant? Each ordered fillet of soul. The waiter brought them two pieces of fish, but the one was large and the other small. The one man took the small piece of fish and gave it to his friend. Well, you certainly have your nerve, said the other. What's troubling you, asked the server. You've given me the little piece and kept the big one for yourself. Well, how would you have done it, asked the one who served. His friend replied, well, I would have given you the big piece. Well, replied the one that serves, I've got the big piece, haven't I? At this they both laughed. We're all a bit selfish, maybe quite a bit. This is something Jesus had to teach his disciples. He said, Whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. This has been a moment to remember from the Bible.
