Matthew 20

I am very grateful for the UrbanPromise internship.  We have intern classes on how to use and grow our gifts.  Last Thursday Bruce Main, the president of UrbanPromise, taught a class on what it meant to be a servant leader.  He read to us from Matthew 20.

“Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them , and their high officials exercise authority over them.  Not so with you.  Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:25-28) 

Like the Son of Man in this passage, we must also answer the call to do whatever work necessary to support the community.  What a good word!
