#PassionWeek - #Tuesday - Becoming A Servant

This day, 2014 years ago, Jesus taught His disciples that "the greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted" (Matthew 23:11-12).

Everybody wants to be great, but who's willing to humble themselves and become a servant to get there? #Tuesday #EasterIsComing #PassionWeek

God bless,

It's Not About You!

"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." ~ Romans 12:3

As innately selfish creatures, most of us think life is all about us - our problems, our greatness, our accomplishments, our ups ad downs, our sickness, our health.

But God paints a different picture of what life is supposed to be. He urges us not to think more highly of ourselves than we ought.

Make no mistake - we are more than conquerors in Christ (Romans 8:37). God has called us to be a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). We are sons and daughters of the King (Galatians 3:26).

But true greatness is found in humility (Matthew 23:12), in service to others (Mark 10:43-44), and in love (John 15:13).

It's not about you!

God bless,
J.W.
