Exodus 5, Luke 9, Job 21, 1 Corinthians 8
Jesus disciples seem eager to enact retaliation when the samaritans can't hospitable towards them. Jesus rebukes them. The disciples attitude here isn't a grasp of the holiness of God or their devotion to God but rather self focus. The closing verse of this chapter highlights the same contrast (9:57-62) The three who flex the most regarding how far their devotion to Jesus is are firmly put in their place; they have not yet counted the cost of discipleship and their pride is exposed.
Lord please help put my ego in its place. Help me to cling onto the cross and rely on you. Help me see others how you view them and to love them, for the sake of you.
