Choose the Shadows, Not the Spotlight

We typically think of the person in the spotlight or the leader with the most recognition as being the greatest person. But that’s not Jesus’ way. He said, “Whoever wants to be first must be your slave.” Instead of seeking the spotlight, Jesus wants us to choose the shadows. Throughout the Bible God consistently chose humble people for positions of greatness – those who would have preferred to stay in the shadows.

I sometimes wonder who will be the most honored people in heaven. I suspect that most of them will be names we’ve never heard before. They will be humble people, servants in the shadows who always put Jesus in the limelight.

If you want to be great, give the spotlight to Jesus and choose the shadows for yourself. Recognition from the world is a fleeting thing, but God’s recognition is forever!
