How to Be Great

September 23, 2018

As human beings, we seem to be fascinated by the subject of greatness.  We talk of greatness in the world of sports. Historians talk of great statesmen, great Presidents.  In entertainment, we argue over who are the greatest actors or movies or bands of all time.  In our story for today we find Jesus giving His take on the subject of greatness. 

References: Mark 9:30-37 , Matthew 25:35

Life is like a bike tire. We don't intentionally take air out, it just leaves. And just as it's harder to peddle with flat tires, it's not as fun to live when the air has leaked out of our lives. Life has a way of deflating us.  It is to the people who are feeling like flat tires that a sweet invitation comes today. "Come to me all who weary and are carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest."

We live in a world of Go, Go, Go! So much to do in so little time. In the midst of our busyness, God calls on us to take time to rest, to build a pause into our life. Our message for today - Pause: God Insists.
