“Better Than Everyone Else”

“Jesus is better than everyone else but he refuses to brag about it,” writes Maria Kane, an Episcopal priest.

“Vindication or being ‘right’ is never on Jesus’ mind,” she continues on page 322 of Disciplines 2020. 

“Instead, he lets the way he lives his life speak for itself. That’s why he loves, serves, prays, and teaches with abandon — even with the people who most question his worthiness and presence.

“Jesus is confident in his identity and therefore his purpose and mission. Can we say the same?

“Today, can you slow down? Think before speaking. Listen before answering. Love before judging. Love is the only thing worth proving.”

Where does she get such ideas?! Philippians 2:1-13 is a good place to start; check it out.

See you back here tomorrow.
