Great Lesson

Verse:
Thought:
Two
little boys are fighting over breakfast, seeing which one get the pancakes
first, the mother walks over and says, "You know, Jesus said the greatest
will be the ones who are last and the one who is first will be the
lesser. He decided to put everyone else first!" The two boys
stopped for a second, the mother went into the kitchen, only to hear fighting
again. This time she came out and asked what was going. To which
one of the boys replied, "I want him to be Jesus this time."
We all want to be the servant God calls us to be, but we still want to be
first, greatest, and up front.
Hear the Good News, Jesus'
message is a way of life that can and
will change your life. As we encounter Jesus, the Teacher, we are shaped
and formed into His likeness. We begin to embody His way of life, thus
effecting the whole world.
This
is how the message of Christ spread so well. This is why we know
Christ today. People had their life changed so profoundly, they
committed themselves to sharing this Good News.
As we begin to decide how it is we will respond to Christ's message and
teachings, remember, we are not only here for us, but for all of the lives we
have been effected by and all of the lives we effect. Accept your place
a the teacher you are.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You
for teaching me and making such a difference
in my life. Help me to teach those I encounter, teach them what it means
to be a servant. It is through Your Son, that I have found what it means to be
great, what it means to serve. Thank
You for all You have done in my
life, and all You will continue to do, through Christ our Lord I pray.
Amen.
