Luke 22:21-29
21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22 The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this. 24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,
Reflection
Jesus during his final meal with his disciples tells them that He will pass away and they must continue the work that God has started in Him. And they do this not by coming to be served but like Jesus going out and serving. Some have described that we as the church need take off our bib and put on an apron. How can we as a church accomplish this? How can you personally stop coming to be fed and go out into the world to feed?
