SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
MATTHEW 23:1-12
Do our actions match our words? People whose behaviour matches the values they profess have much greater influence for good. Recall people whom you admired for this quality. Perhaps your own experience at times confirms this.
Jesus also has hard words for those whose priority lies in receiving acknowledgement and recognition of honour and status from others. Even for the people honoured, such words and gestures can have an empty feeling. How much better for us to be comfortable in our won skim, recognising our goodness and acknowledging our limitations. Our passage ends with a paradox. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted. For Jesus the way to greatness and full life is through service of others. When have you found the way of service brought unexpected rewards?
