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.
