Rev. Martin Schultheis, pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Baltimore, MD joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 20:20-34.
“Mother knows best” brings up many questions as we look at James and John’s mother’s request. We can be quick to judge the requests and others without reflecting on what we might do in the same situation. Jesus’ mother asked for her son’s to have a place of honor in His kingdom, the disciples probably desired the same thing, but the blind men asked for mercy. In His mercy, He served us by our cross and, living in us calls us to serve others in His name. “Lord God, as Your Son came to serve, help us to be servants of others. Fill our hearts with faith and our lips to seek Your mercy that, by Your Strength we may serve You and others faithfully. In Christ, Amen”
Thy Strong Word reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
