In the kingdom, flourishing is found in serving others, not “lord[ing] it over them” (Matt. 20:25). In the kingdom, flourishing is discovered by being last, not being first (Mark 9:35). In the kingdom, flourishing is embracing the littleness of our roles and accepting that the “less honorable” parts of the body are more honored (1 Cor. 12:21–26). In the kingdom, flourishing is known in our weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).
