Copout

In next Sunday’s Lectionary, Jesus says (according to Matthew’s gospel), “The greatest among you will be your servant.”

More in due course, I expect, but for the time being, just think about that. How would things be if we took that seriously, especially those of us already in power? It’s not a fragment of Scripture to be quoted from a position of power at somebody who has none, saying “be humble, bow down”, while being unhumble oneself. A bit Pharisaical, that would be.
