DAY TWENTY-FIVE – Wednesday, March 22, 2023
 
Mark 9:33-37
 
Jesus checks in on his disciples to see what they had been discussing. It had seemed to be a very intense conversation. “Who was the greatest among them?” was not something they should have been arguing about. They grew silent very quickly.
 
Jesus had been teaching them and they all thought they would have a special place in that kingdom, based on their service to Jesus at that time.
Something that we all should remember is that in biblical times, children were not held in high regard. They were often seen as no more than slaves until such times as they grew up. They had no power or social status.
 
Jesus hugs the child that is with them – a simple act of love, giving of attention and affection. A reminder to all, that how we welcome, treat and serve another person or child should be given from the heart, but not with the thinking as to how this action is going to benefit yourself. We then and only then are serving God. We are human, and therefore many times have thought, “What’s in it for me?” We need to remember, to be humble and kind.
