Scripture lesson: Luke 22:24-27 A counter culture religion

Time to reflect: A lot of what Jesus demands of us goes against our culture and our nature. Everyone else is driven by the need for power and control, we are called to be servants of all. This does not mean we have to be unsuccessful or a loser, only that we have different priorities and ways of doing things.

Moving through the day: Meditate about how you can be successful and competent and humble and a servant of others at the same time.

 24Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. 25Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. 27For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
