In Matthew 23, it is written that Jesus said: "The greatest among you shall be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23:11-12). This paradox in the teachings of Jesus is probably the simplest to understand but the most difficult to act on.
