If Jesus were to make a list of “Things to Do and Say Before You Die,” what would you find on that list?
In Matthew 20 the Master’s Friend recalled some things the Lord said and did “as He was going up to Jerusalem,” where, He explained, “He would be crucified.” Things of utmost importance to Him as He finished His Mission on Earth.
21. I will deal with people kindly, generously.
22. In my Kingdom we will value people so differently that the VIP’s here will be at the end of the line while those marginalized in Earthly Kingdoms will be up front.
23. I will not shy away from suffering but will die the most painful, ugly death known to humankind. With that I will conquer death and be “raised from the dead.”
24. I, the “Son of Man,” came to Earth not to be served but to serve all people. As your Role Model this is your example. If you want to lead in the Kingdom of God you must become a Servant. And the VIP’s in this Kingdom are slaves of one another.
25. My heart is moved by every cry for mercy and I will respond compassionately to specific pleas for intervention even if they require a healing touch.
26. I welcome Followers who’ve trusted me to intervene in their troubled lives.
