Luke 3:15-18

Power means everything to a lot of people. Particularly those people who crave it. I often times think what is the most sought after, money or power? While money had great buying ability, power can have unlimited influence. Money does not necessarily translate into having power. Here’s one example. The president of our county does not make the most money but his power is far reaching. So money vs. power? Power hands down. Because with power can come a well of resources. At least that is what I think.

Now that I’ve got you thinking about power, think about this. John the Baptist recognized that Jesus was a man of great power. So much so, that John the Baptist felt unworthy to perform the menial task of his tying shoes. Why is that? Well, in part, I believe it’s because John the Baptist recognized his own limitations. It takes a ‘big’ person to do that. Particularly when people think that you are the one. What do you think? Let me know, dawn@matthewsumc.org.
