Who are your heroes? What kind of heroes are they? If you're like me many of them are sports heroes or movie stars, who often have huge egos. We live in a world that puts a premium pride and swagger and egos. But I have a few heroes who are servant heroes--someone who serves tirelessly the needs of others and not them self. One of them has been Mother Teresa. She was a person outwardly weak and frail, yet inwardly full of amazing strength and vitality and joy! A servant of Christ. We all need heroes like that. The Apostle Paul admonishes us to strive to live our lives that way:
(scripture of the week)
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore, God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him a name above every name. . ." (Phil.2.3-9)
(prayer of the week)
Lord, help us to have a servant attitude like you. Help us to strive to love and serve with humility and grace, so that others will see your image in us, through your power and to your glory, amen.
Have a great week! - Pastor TJ
