Where is my coffee?
Who is going to be the greatest? Who will be the one to serve me coffee, or will I have to be the one to serve others?
We have seen the transfiguration. Jesus said that some of us will not die before the kingdom is at hand. Now is a good time to be prepared for the Kingdom, so the disciples ask....
Jesus lays down the groundwork for becoming the greatest in the kingdom, and that person is the humblist. This attitude is best described and revealed by how we treat children as they get in our way. It is also revealed by our willingness to forgive and take our mind off our selves.
May God teach us forgiveness so that we do not teach our children unforgiveness, and bring God's wrath upon ourselves. If we hope to be served coffee in heaven, we need to lay aside the things that irritate God.

LW, so very true and what a lot of believers don't realize is, there is great JOY in being a servant. Forgiveness just seems to come a whole lot easier and earlier when we really do humble our self esteem and just love one another.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read your topic, I immediately thought of Child of the King and the Heavenly Cafe. Where is my coffee, indeed. She beat us all there, didn't she! Well, GLORY!
