Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Matt 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others,
Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Matt 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Matt 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matt 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matt 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ; and those gates are wide open in ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois as well as Boston If all are willing to put self under the feet of Love, and when the fatal question of who shall be greatest comes up, as even of old, answer it for themselves
as Christ did He that would be greatest let him be your servantMatt 20:20 ¶Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. Matt 20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two
sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
Matt 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the
cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized
with? They say unto him, We are able. Matt 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not
mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. Matt 20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. Matt 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and
they that are great exercise authority upon them. Matt 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be
your minister; Matt 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Matt 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:35 ¶And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that
thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. Mark 10:36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? Mark 10:37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the
other on thy left hand, in thy glory. Mark 10:38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I
drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? Mark 10:39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of
the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be
baptized: Mark 10:40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. Mark 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. Mark 10:42 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. Mark 10:43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be
your minister: Mark 10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Mark 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many. – all will be well. For this purpose I had a National C.S.A. and Student’s C.S.A. organized – for that purpose I have
borne As Written: born
the burden in the heat of the battle 20 years a servant of servants. Now all I ask
of all my students is, go and do likewise. Write me dear one all the good news as
often as you can but you must not be disappointed if I do not answer promptly as all
letters for I have more than pen can portray all the time on my hands
