Matthew 23-25

Monday is day eight of the summer reading plan. I don't know about you, but I have really been finding great things in the reading. The portion size of these readings are really good--two or three chapters gives you context, but its short enough that I still have time to really digest the words I'm reading.
Today the reading is Matthew 23-25.
Jesus says this multiple times within Matthew. In Matthew 20 Jesus says, "whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
The challenge is to be a servant, to the extent that Christ was.
And Christ was quite a servant.

    To add onto that, we were not placed on this earth to be served. We were not placed on this earth to be blessed. We are here to serve God and to bless others. We need to step into a place of humility and realize that we're not as great as we think we are and we need to stop looking so intently on ou selves but be seeking to uplift others. (Don't just pray for yourself)
    As Jesus ai our example. (Matthew 20:26-28)
