Day 4 reflection...This one really hits home for me
Mark 9:33-37
33 And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, What were you discussing on the way? 34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35
And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, If anyone
would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all. 36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.
Servant of All
Exposure: Read Jesus' remarks to His disciples about being a servant. In
the next 24 hours, live this out by serving someone. Especially think
of a way you welcome a little child in Jesus' name.
Exploration: Why do you think Jesus took a child into His arms for this
remark? What does it say about Jesus' ministry that a little child was
already nearby?
Expression: Who do you think was blessed more? You the server or the people being served?
Experience: Take an inventory of how you spend most of your days. Is
your life characterized more by being served or serving? Is it any
different during Christmas time?
