Luke 21-22 (ESV) by Wordle*

Today’s reading is Luke 21:1-22:71.

“And he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves’” (Luke 22:25-27).

To the carnally-minded, being the leader means  using other people to get me where I want to go. That is exercising lordship. Not so among us. In God’s kingdom, being the leader means serving others to help them get where God wants them to go.

How are you leading people?

Keep the faith and keep reading,

ELC
