Pastors Ponderings
“Unproud Servants”
All of us want things to go better in our relationships. None of us wants things to go poorly with others. So how can we help things to go smoother between us? While there are many ways to answer this question, let’s talk about just one way: swallowing our pride. This reminds us of an interesting interaction Jesus once had with some of His closest friends. James and John once made a bold request of Jesus. They thought they knew what was best, and they wanted to help Him be in charge of heaven (Mark 10:37). When Jesus’ other close friends heard this, they were understandably upset (Mark 10:41).
What about us? Our Midwest sense of modesty usually tells us that we are humble people. But how often do we sit on the sidelines and think we know what is best? The classic example is the “armchair quarterback” who sits safely at home and thinks he has all the answers on how his team could win. But we do this with way more than just watching sports. How often do we think we have the answers as we complain about things at school or work? When we look at our world, how often do we sit back and think we have the answers and we know how to solve all these problems? This even affects our relationships. Have you ever given unsolicited advice? Have you ever offered your “two cents” when nobody asked for it? We learn the hard way how this kind of attitude affects our relationships and makes it harder to get along.
So what is the answer? Jesus answered this situation with, “Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be a servant of all.” (Mark 10:43-44) When we “swallow our pride” and are willing serve others, it helps our relationships. When we are willing to serve, then we are willing to do two things: listen to others and admit we do not have all the answers. The best example of this is Jesus! The very next thing He said was, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) Jesus loves us enough to serve and save us. Even though He has all the answers, He still loves us enough to listen to us and humble Himself. Easter is a great time to remember how much God loves us and how we have the joy of serving others. Not only do we benefit from this, but our relationships will benefit as well!
If you are looking for a church home to celebrate with this Easter, we invite you to join our church family! A free Easter breakfast is at 8:00 a.m. and worship is at 9:00 a.m. on Easter Sunday (April 5). Worship will also be live-streamed on our YouTube channel.
