    “Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” Matt 20:26-28.

    Who Cares? As Jesus and the disciples left the city of Jericho, a huge crowd followed behind. 30 Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 31 The crowd told them to be quiet, but they ...read more

It is significant to note that while Christ corrected her He did not berate, criticize or condemn her. ...read more
