Luke: 22:24-30

The Tornadoes that severely damaged Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri on December 10 & 11, 2022 and the ice storm that we experienced in January 2022 are examples of devastation and hardships that we endure. Disasters such as this have brought communities together to focus on their mutual survival. Natural disasters have forced us to determine what is important for survival water, food, electricity, a place to live and trying to gain what was lost.

Jesus’ disciples were mere mortals, and they were just like each of us. They had ego’s and they had a selfish side as well. Their selfish attitudes after the crucifixion gave way to self-sacrifice. Jesus’ act of love spurred them to love one another and serve those in need of salvation.

If we want to be great in God’s Kingdom, we must first learn to be servants. As God’s servant we must be humble in heart and allow God to work powerfully through him. We will experience remarkable victories and our unshakable love for God will draw others to Christ.

What path to success have we chosen? Are we honoring God or are we showing our selfish ambition? God. Today let’s surrender to God and let him use us in a way to bring others to his saving grace.
