Be a Winner

Many who are first will be last, and the last first. — Mark 10:31

Winning can be exciting and is a big thing for most people if not all. Many of us are so competitive that we feel we just have to win.

Today’s verse is so countercultural. The first will be last, and the last first? That doesn’t make sense. No one competes for the goal of being last. No one remembers the ones who come in last. But maybe that’s the point.

The economy of the gospel isn’t like everything else. Very little that we value in this world from wealth and prestige to power and position means anything when it comes to following Jesus. At times, our accomplishments can even get in the way of being a disciple of Jesus.

Think of it this way: when we realize that the things we often rely on don’t gain us anything, we find ourselves in a place where we are ready to rely on Jesus. Is important for us to realize that everything good we have and all we have accomplished is a gift from God. When our lives are anchored by such truth we are ready to serve and share with others in love just like Jesus.

PRAYER

Lord, help us to realize we rely on you for everything. May we follow your example as we live for your glory each day. In Jesus’ name Amen.
