Holy Thursday
This day, the Last Supper was done and Jesus Christ washed the feet of his Apostles. On this day, he reminded us that humility is the best essence of a leader.
Jesus showed that, he, even the Son of God is willing to bow down for his followers. Just like what Lord Jesus told to Matthew about the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.
10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
13 "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
14 "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Some leaders nowadays are fond of their powers and forget that they should serve and not to be served. Their followers are following not because of respect but fear.
Which is better, to have a follower that has full of respect to you or a follower because they fear you?
Because of the talent we have, sometimes we forgot to thank God and sometimes we are very cocky. Sometimes we don’t share it without money, without any exchange, for us, our talents are very exclusive. This is not what Lord Jesus taught us.
Jesus want us to be humble, not be so proud of what we have but be thankful and share to those who needed most.
