Luke 9:46-48 - Who is the Greatest?

Jesus wants to be my friend. Who is the greatest?

In Luke chapter 9 Jesus talks to his apostles as they ask who is the greatest among them. They want to know who is Jesus best friend.

Many of us have children who started school this week. If you don't I am confident you remember what that first week of school was like. It's a jockeying for position with friends. Even if you have the sweetest kid on the planet we are all wired to be loved, so friendships matter. We don't necessarily ask, but we want to know (in our friends eyes), who is the greatest? Who is your best friend?

When you have a relationship with Jesus you know His favorite is always you. Jesus tells us His favorite is ME yet His favorite is YOU. He has favorites yet He doesn't have favorites because we are all His favorites. If we accept Jesus into our hearts that is the only was we can experience being His best friend and feel His love.

My prayer is for our children to experience Jesus' love. I pray that love pours out of their hearts so their friends see a difference and want Jesus' love too.

Have an awesome week!

In Him.....

Our kids will have friends that will let them down. Our kids will let their friends down. We will be let down and let down others. When we have a relationship with Jesus he is our only constant.

As we wrap up our month of friendship this Sunday, I am hopeful you and the children we teach, have learned valuable biblical lessons to guide our relationships throughout this school year an beyond.
