Among You, It Should Be Quite Different
Jesus called all the followers together. Jesus said, "The
non-Jewish people have men they call rulers. You know that
those rulers love to show their power over the people. And
their important leaders love to use all their authority over
the people. But it should not be that way with you. If one of
you wants to become great, then he must serve you like a
servant. If one of you wants to become the most important,
then he must serve all of you like a slave."
-- Mark 10:42-44 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' followers have heard a different tune than the world hears. They
have a different reason to live in this world. So naturally -- or
should we say, supernaturally -- we are to live very differently in the
world. One of the places this must show up is in those in whom we place
value. Our ultimate hero was a servant who washed his followers' feet
and then gave up his life for them. Shouldn't our everyday heroes
follow that same example? The greatest in Jesus' Kingdom IS a servant.
We mustn't wait until we are in heaven to recognize this value system;
we must display it in our communities today.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father, help us -- help me -- to be quite different in what we value,
honor, and hold dear. In the name of Jesus, the greatest human who ever
lived, I ask this. Amen.
