Something To Think About...
A boss was complaining in his staff meeting that he wasn’t getting any respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read, “I’m the Boss”. He then taped it to his office door.
Later that day, when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said, “Your wife called, she wants her sign back!”
Everyone likes to be the boss, to be in control, to be respected. That’s the natural attitude of the world around us. But Jesus calls us to an attitude that is not very natural:
“You know that the rulers of the non-Jewish people love to show their power over the people...it should not be that way among you. Whoever wants to become great among you must serve the rest of you like a servant. Whoever wants to become first among you must serve the rest of you like a slave. ...the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others...” (Matt. 20:25-28)
Concerned that everyone be aware that you’re the boss? Be more concerned about what you can do to serve others.
