Gospel Truth in Matthew 20 (Nov 9)

    Have Mindset of a Servant

    After Peter’s dramatic confession
    of Jesus as the Christ, the Son
    of the living God, Jesus began to
    shew unto His disciples how He
    must go to Jerusalem and suffer
    many things of elders and chief
    priests, be killed & be raised again
    the third day. After preparing
    His disciples for the unexpected
    events which would soon take
    place, Jesus begins His final
    journey to Jerusalem. Arriving
    to a hero’s welcome, He is hailed
    as King while making His humble
    entrance into the city. It’s now the
    final week of Christ’s earthly life.

    Lord, we aspire serve like You:
    Whoever wants to become great
    among you must be your servant
    and whoever wants to be first
    must be your slave (Mt 20:26-27)
    Just as the Son of Man did not
    come to be served, but to serve,
    and to give his life as a ransom
    for many (Matt 20:28). Amen.

    Lord, Your Word teaches that
    true reward awaits those who
    humble themselves in loving
    service. Keep me from the
    tendency to be busy, to be driven,
    to step on others & to exalt myself.
    Instead give me the grace to
    choose the way of servanthood.
    For I want to be more like You.
    Help me to consider others’ needs
    and desires besides my own. Amen.

    Lord, You have given me freedom
    and calling to serve. Thank you
    for freeing me from my sinful
    nature and giving me willingness
    to reach out and serve others.
    Show me where I can use my gifts
    to really make a difference for
    the advancement of Your kingdom.
    May an attitude of humble service
    infuse every part of my life. Amen

    Dear Almighty God, You sent
    Jesus to be our Master & King.
    And we your people purpose to
    be Community of the kingdom:
    Striving for Your Perspective;
    Have Complete Faith In You;
    Be Forgiving and Merciful;
    Be Trusting & Eternal Minded
    and Having a Servant Mindset.
    We ask your grace for the above,
    for apart fr U we can do nothing.
    In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
