Scripture Reading
Luke 22:24-38
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Scripture Union Daily Guide 29 March 2026 | OUTLINE
Arguments about who will be the leader are an age-long problem. It is causing a lot of disputes in our homes, communities, institutions, the Church and nations (Luke 22:24). Read Luke 22:25 in NLT and note the mindset of leadership in the world system. Can you see the conflict in the way the world looks at leadership? Those who should serve are the ones being served. How does Jesus challenge the worldly view in Luke 22:26?
True leadership is to “serve”. Today, many seem to believe that the number of people serving you determines how great you are. This is contrary to the example Jesus left for us to follow. In serving others, you may be tempted to think that you are only a servant. Note that you are actually a great leader in that role.
As a great leader, Jesus looked out for Peter, who needed support due to an imminent intense temptation (Luke 22:31-32). A true leader is sensitive to the spiritual condition of the people he is leading and offers spiritual coverage for them. Where would you need the Lord to intervene and support you?

HYMN: I love to tell the story Of unseen things above
1 I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.
Refrain
I love to tell the story,
’Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.
2 I love to tell the story;
More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story,
It did so much for me;
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.
3 I love to tell the story;
’Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own holy Word.
4 I love to tell the story,
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.
Closing Prayer
Ask the Lord to give you a true understanding of greatness and leadership. Pray for the leadership in our churches and nation.
