January
20, 2019 – One of the
things that the world finds hard to comprehend about Christianity is that,
“Victory begins with surrender, the way up is down, the way to be first is to
be last, etc.” Jesus said, “If any would be great among you, let him be a
servant to all.” Humanly speaking this sounds unreasonable but “With God all
things are possible.” If you want your life to count my friend then humble
yourself and let God exalt you! S. E.

My prayer is that you would apply this
“up is down” dynamic to your life in all that you do for Christ.

Memory Verse Challenge - John 13:16
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he
that sent him. KJV
“It was a few days before Christmas and a
man was returning from a business trip which had gone reasonably well, and he
was ready to go back home. His return flight brought him to an airport on the
other end that was decorated a tacky red and green, and loudspeakers blared
annoying renditions of traditional Christmas carols. Being someone who took
Christmas very seriously, and being slightly tired, he was not in a
particularly good mood. Going to check in his luggage he saw hanging mistletoe.
Not real mistletoe, but very cheap plastic with red paint on some of the
rounder parts and green paint on some of the flatter and pointier parts, that
could be taken for mistletoe only in a very weird sort of way. With a
considerable degree of irritation and nowhere else to vent it, he said to the female
attendant, "Even if we were married, I would not want to kiss you under such
an awful looking piece of mistletoe." "Sir, look more closely at
where the mistletoe is." "Ok, I see that it's above the luggage scale
which is the place you'd have to step forward for a kiss." "That's
not why it's there." "Ok, I give up. Why is it there?" "It's
there so you can kiss your luggage good-bye." Anonymous
