Selfless

John 5: 43-44 "I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not see the glory that is from the one and only God?

I work at a University and I seen this scene every day. People are only out to get glory for themselves. It’s all about who you know and what they can do for you. People are confused went you lift someone else up instead of putting them down. Jesus was not about SELF He was all about the Father. He wasn’t going around proclaiming His greatness. Can you picture it?

Jesus: people gather around as I make this lame man walk. Watch as I blink three times and make him jump.

Nope, not my Lord’s style, but certainly the worlds. He simply asked him if He wanted to be well. Jesus wanted to help this man and not use Him to help Himself. Every day we have a chance to help the people around us and we don’t need a pat on the back or some reward. Just to be a reflection of Jesus and give him glory.

Lord, thank you for the greatness example of selflessness. I pray that I would cease every opportunity to lift You up through my actions. Amen
