Holy Spirit PSR Watchful Wednesday Meditation. October 16th, 2024

 

     In this Sunday’s Gospel of Mark we come across two apostles, James and John , who find a way to ask Jesus a question in private. They wanted part of Jesus power up close and center. ” Can we sit next to You when You are on Your throne ?” Wow when the other disciples got wind of that , mass chaos broke out ; what nerve and why didn’t we think of that first. They were looking at power with their heads ,but Jesus answered with power from His heart.

     His power was in the act of serving , but they thought

 if you are on the throne you will be served. That was not how this Kingdom would work. Jesus spent the rest of His time on earth trying to teach His disciples about the humility of serving. It took them to the Cross ,Resurrection and beyond for them to truly understand  His Kingdom was not fought with weapons. Being a servant was what Jesus came to earth to establish.

     Does serving mean leadership to you?  Does Jesus’s question ” can you serve like me ?” scare you or ignite you ? Is serving a weak idea for you? Will you try to step up and help another and see if you can understand the power of a humble job well done ? If so , roll up those sleeves ,put on your serving spirit and serve , not for bragging rights ,  but to be a true leader.

 

P.S. moment

Listen to the hymn – Make Us True Servants -. It is an older song, but the words are for soul building. It is worth the listen .

 

P.S.S. moment

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, THERE WILL BE PEACE .
