3/22/11 cblog WE R CALLED 2B SERVANTS 2 the PEOPLE; St. James 12p m: "tells us..re synagogue officials..considered hypocrites..say one thing but violate that by the way they live..saying to followers of Jesus..don't follow their example..looks like they do everything for appearance..at the expense of the people..for they should be servants to the people who really need help..this is how the lord..Jesus came to be a servant to humans..r called to be servants to the people..authentic leadership..difficult demand..need god's grace..pray for god's grace.." Is 1:10, 16-20 Hear the word of the LORD princes of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of our God, people of Gomorrah! Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil; learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow. Come now, let us set things right, says the LORD: Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow Though they be crimson red, they may become white as wool. If you are willing, and obey, you shall eat the good things of the land; But if you refuse and resist, the sword shall consume you: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken Ps 50:8-9, 16bc-17, 21 and 23 R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God. Mt 23:1-12 “The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them All their works are performed to be seen They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation ‘Rabbi.’ As for you, do not be called ‘Rabbi.’ You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called ‘Master’; you have but one master, the Christ. The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself
