For some reason it seems that some people do not see all the implications of Jesus being Messiah, which is both savior and Lord and some also mix the 2 up.  Being a savior is a serving function and being Lord is a leading function, in the Kingdom everyone is called to be a servant and some are called to be leaders, by the exemplary serving as one of the criteria.  Our flesh wants to reverse this process, see the disciples on who will be first.

It is like the grace and truth paradigm, we need both, but grace goes first; likewise, serving goes first.
