Servant of All
September 22, 2024
Jesus today offers words we like want to soften: He calls his disciples to be last of all and servants of all (Mark 8:30-37).
At first, this sounds impossible. The only person who ever was servant of all was Jesus.
Yet, Jesus does show us a way forward. Right after calling the disciples to be servant of all, he embraces one child. Jesus is servant to all…one person at a time.
Likewise, Jesus invites us to serve others, one person at a time.
