Read Matthew 23:1-12

The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. - Matthew 23:11-12

Reflection of Tommy:

We are a hypocrite when we do not live by what we preach and making ourselves look good and holy with what we have done, how much we know or how obedient we are to God. We may even compare our ‘greatness’ to others and criticizing them for lacks of faith or discernment.

To Jesus, true greatness comes from humility and a serving- giving ourselves to help God and others. Instead of constantly glorifying and focusing only on ourselves, we seek ways to be a good servant for Christ to the world with love.

Dear Father, forgive me of sometimes displaying the hypocritical attitudes of the religious leaders. Remind me always to do and say everything to bring glory and honor to You and what Christ has done for us. Guide me as I lead and bring more people to know You, that it will always be motivated by love and desire to glorify You. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
