Lesson from the Chilean miners


The 33 miners trapped in Chile are set to be rescued from tonight. After spending a world record 68 day underground (not that they care about the record) they will finally see their family and friends.

What is even more remarkable is that they are 'arguing' about who should be pulled to safety first - but not as we would think. Despite their plight they are willing to allow their friends to go before them. This speaks of servanthood for me. At a time when we could understand their selfishness, they are thinking of each other.

Galatians 5:13 - "...serve one another in love."

Matthew 20:16 - "So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

Living in Grace,
