Kingdom Carriers | Who Gets Your Best?

We naturally give attention to people we consider important.

People with influence. People who can open doors.
People whose names carry weight.

But Jesus repeatedly disrupted that way of thinking.

He noticed children. He touched lepers. He stopped for beggars. He ate with people others avoided. He gave dignity to those society had pushed to the edges.

Jesus wasn't impressed by status. He saw value where others saw usefulness.
And perhaps that's still one of the clearest differences between the Kingdom and the world.

The world often asks:
“What can this person do for me?”

The Kingdom asks:
“How can I honour the image of God in this person?”

That challenges me.
Because it's easy to be gracious when someone matters to our future.

The deeper test is how we treat the person who cannot advance our career, increase our influence, return the favour, or even remember our name.

Jesus said:
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

Perhaps Kingdom greatness isn't revealed by how we behave around important people.

Perhaps it's revealed by who we consider important.

So here's a question worth carrying into the week:

Who gets the best of me when there is absolutely nothing in it for me?

Grace and peace,

Jacob
