Morning: Psalms 20, 21; Acts 28:17-31
Evening: Psalms 110, 116, 117; Luke 9:37-50
Soon after Jesus’s mountaintop transfiguration - where his face shines and God’s affirmation of him rings out - he tells his disciples that he will be betrayed. He will confront the powers-that-be and they will do him harm. The disciples don’t get it. Instead, they argue about which of them is the greatest. Jesus takes a child and teaches them, “the least among all of you is the greatest”. Humility, not greatness, is life’s goal. True greatness is expressed in serving others. The great do not ask, “Who is the greatest?” but rather, “How may I be of service?”
