So Jesus called them all together and said, “You know that the rulers of the heathen have power over them, and the leaders have complete authority. This, however, is not the way it shall be among you. If one of you wants to be great, he must be the servant of the rest”
Matthew 20:25-26, 28 GNBDK
Reflection:
Simple, concise and clear instructions from Jesus, 'This, however, is not the way it shall be among you.' The essence of stewardship is the virtue of humility and selflessness, and that is what Jesus is calling us to. While the world today boast of its ego, taking pride in doing things on their own, and success is measure by numbers and not values. It is imperative that we understand our call to Holiness and what is implies.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to understand his word incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ. As you dwell in his word, may his Holy Spirit gladen your heart with joys of revelation of God's plan and purpose for your life. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
