January 21
Introduction
The mother of James and John asks a special favor of Jesus on behalf of her sons, and Jesus uses the opportunity to teach the disciples about servanthood. The chapter concludes with Jesus healing two blind men.
Today’s Key Scripture: Matthew 20:26b, 27
[Jesus said:] “If one of you wants to be great, you must be the servant of the rest; and if one of you wants to be first, you must be the slave of the others.”
Today’s Reading
Matthew 20:20-34
Reflect
The most powerful people in a kingdom sat directly at the right and left sides of a ruler. What do you think was the motive behind the mother’s request? How did Jesus respond? How did Jesus define his mission (verse 28)? In what ways do you and your community serve others?
Pray
Holy Jesus, your kingdom is marked by life-giving service and not by ambition, power, or dominance. Teach me the ways of humble service and to follow you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Sanitation workers
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 3:1-26: Peter heals a lame beggar.
