Show Notes
Jesus turns to the crowds and warns against the hypocrisy of the religious leaders who do not practice what they preach. Rather than loving others, they weigh them down with heavy burdens while lifting themselves up. Jesus calls us to a different kind of greatness — one marked by humility, integrity, and servant-hearted living. The greatest is the servant of all, and Jesus practiced what he preached!

For Reflection:
- Where are you tempted to care more about appearing spiritual than actually living faithfully?
- Are there ways you might unintentionally place burdens on others instead of helping them follow God?
- How does Jesus define greatness and true spirituality?
- Is there a step that you could take this week towards growth in humility and servant-heartedness?
- Prayer: Lord, teach me to join you in humbly serving others.
