The greatest is the servant of all

Morning: Psalm 88; Isaiah 61:1-9; 2 Timothy 3:1-17
Evening: Psalms 91, 92; Mark 10:32-45
After the shooting at the mosque in Quebec last week, someone wrote in support of our Muslim friends: “Not only do we stand behind you; we are also ready to stand in front of you if need be.” The ancient Good News that Jesus came to affirm is that God is bringing justice to the earth.  And yet, there are evil forces that oppose God. Disciples do not seek God’s favour or special privileges. Disciples are servants. Like their master, they may even have to suffer for what is right.
