Mark 12:39
Of course, these men would have veiled their desire for the grandiose. Jesus and his disciples held their last supper in an upper room. But Jesus here has ‘the best seats’ in mind. The scribes wanted to always be seen and applauded.
Heavenly Father, you have taught us that humility and service are the best path. Though we don’t understand sometimes, if we are patient, we see your great wisdom and blessing. Thank you for giving us the truth of your Word. You are so awesome! You have made all things and yet you have been patient with us. You have not rushed to judgement. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
