When we empty ourselves and become little, we allow God to fill us and we become so much more. John and James kind of missed the point that Jesus came to serve, not to be served. Jesus wanted James, John and all his followers, us included, to understand that His glory was most fulfilled when he emptied himself for others.
So what does that kind of humility and glory look like? How can we imitate Christ’s love? As we strive to humbly serve others, let us always live in the hope of the resurrection and recall how God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for you and for me.
So today, let us be empty and little, so we can be filled and blessed!
