Power down
Friday October 23rd, Mark10: 41When the ten
heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42Jesus called them together and
said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord
it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43Not so with you. I sometimes think the ten were indignant because they
thought James and John had gotten to Jesus first with a request they all had in
mind. We live in a power down
world. But the counter cultural ministry
of Jesus came to bring us a grace down world.
Power down structures send the blessings up to those at the top and the
responsibilities down to the victims at the bottom. The Grace down world of Jesus sends the
blessings down and the responsibility up.
It may seem counter intuitive, but it is the definition of love.
