Martin Luther King "To Serve"

["They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.

Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all." - Mark 9:33-35]

Let's praise God for what will happen this week (MLK Day and the inauguration of the first black president) even in this fading and passing city, let's learn serve harder those who are made in the image of God, and not cover our eyes to the pain of our own flesh and blood, and though we may disagree with each other on the methods and policies, let us not forget or deny the cry of the heart that still sings even from the shattered broken pieces that is mankind's fallen heart

"But let justice roll down like waters
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. " - Amos 5:24

And let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the forerunner, and completer.. The one who was made servant of all, and who is the greatest one of all, He hung on a criminals cross for the cosmic treason of the world and at whose inauguration the whole universe will echo.. the old things have passed away, and behold the new comes! He has done it praise the Lord, the great change, the great hope, the great consolation of the new city has come and now we see him face to face!

Those who trust in the Lord will not be put to shame.
