The life of Jesus exemplifies servanthood. The very reason for his coming was to sacrifice himself to save humanity. So why is it that so many of us Christians focus on “being good people?” Shouldn’t we be working on “being good for people?” So with that in mind, here’s your REAL Question for the week:
What does it feel like to let others go first?
Spend some time thinking about this question in regards to your own life and how you treat others. As you’re grappling with this question, remember what Jesus told his disciples: “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” ~Mark 9:35b
Letting others “go first” is a good feeling – and a good thing to do!
