🌿 Preparing for the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost – Year B
Friday, October 11, 2024
📖 Scripture Preview:
As we look ahead to Mark 10:35-45, Jesus teaches about the path to true greatness: “Whoever wishes to be first among you must be the servant of all.” James and John sought positions of honor, but Jesus redirects their focus to humility and service. In God’s kingdom, leadership is defined by serving others with love and sacrifice, following Christ’s example.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, help us to embrace a life of humble service. Teach us to follow Your example, serving others with love and compassion, and seeking greatness not through power, but through acts of kindness.
💬 Reflection:
Where can you serve others in your life this week? Reflect on how Christ’s model of leadership through service challenges the world’s view of success.
