I think all the LW sermons and songs about ruling and reigning with Christ were appealing to the congregation because by ruling and reigning we thought we would have status. Our whole culture and the way we were raised is based on seeking status. However, ruling with Christ is not about status, the upward flow, or being a benefactor who lords it over those allotted to your charge; rather, ruling with Christ is about serving the brethren, being lowly, washing the feet of the brethren. JRS used to say some folks won't like the kingdom because of the discipline; instead, I think some won't like it if being a ruler means serving and not status.
