Less of Me More of Him

 For it is not ourselves that we are preaching, but Christ Jesus as the Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

2Cor.4:5

Paul encourages the Corinthian Church by modeling servant-hood for the sake of Jesus. Powerful preaching is all about Jesus and nothing about the preacher.

Our parish Alpha Course has just started. It needed organisation and leadership to happen. The twenty guests have come to learn about Jesus not about the hosting team. We become wallpaper so that all attention is given to Jesus.

There's a little boy inside of me who wants some of the attention. I choose to put him back in his rightful place, setting up the chairs or washing the dishes. It's all about Jesus.

Lord Jesus, help me be less that you may become more.
Saint John the Baptist, Saint Gregory the Great, please pray for me.
