Put Jesus and others first.



Kent Hughes says in his book Disciplines of a Godly Man, “True spiritual leadership knows nothing of a self-promoting spirit.”

As a servant of Jesus, He is to be first and others are to be second. Ask your self right now...does that describe me? If not changes need to be made immediately! Remember what John the Baptist said about Jesus:

John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.”

And then what Jesus tells us Himself:

Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 

Can it get any plainer? Is your life about you? Or is your life about Jesus and others?
