Thought of the Week for May 20, 2019

Martin Luther King Jr.

Jesus gave us a new norm of greatness.  If you want to be important, wonderful.  But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.  That’s your new definition of greatness.  And this morning, the thing that I like about it, by giving that definition  of greatness, it means that everybody can be great.  Because everybody can serve.  You don’t have to have a college degree to serve.  You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.  You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve.  You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve.  You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve.  You only need a heart full of grace.  A soul generated by love.  And you can be that servant.
