Matthew 23:8-12

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one Master, and you are all brothers. You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor must you allow yourselves to be called teachers, for you have only one Teacher, the Christ.

‘The greatest among you must be your servant. Anyone who raises himself up will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.’

TODAY'S POINTERS ON GOD'S WORD
As you read the passage what words, phases or meanings caught your attention

  • In today’s Gospel Jesus teaches us how to be “servant” to others if we want to be the “greatest.” I f we want to have Him as model in our life, t his is the Christ-like humility we are each called to live out .
  • Regardless of our social status or our successes, the reality of life is that only God is almighty. We are mere creatures who would one day die .

  • True humility is a servant-like quality which enables us to serve God and others in Christ-like ways. Be aware of misguided zeal which attracts respect and honour for oneself rather than for God. Pray for the graces to know the joy of Christ-like humility and simplicity of heart .
All Thanks to Jesuit Singapore !
