Día 2, El liderazgo humilde derriba los muros y construye con amor. “¿Dónde está el rey de los judíos, que ha nacido?” (Mateo 2:2)
​
Escritura
  • Filipenses 2:5-11: Quien, siendo en forma de Dios, no estimó el ser igual a Dios como cosa a que aferrarse.
  • Mateo 20:20-28: El Hijo del Hombre, que no vino para ser servido, sino para servir.

Meditación
Jeremías denuncia el mal liderazgo de los reyes de Israel que dividieron y dispersaron al pueblo. En cambio, el Señor promete un rey-pastor que "hará justicia y rectitud en la tierra" y reunirá a los miembros de su rebaño.
Nuestro mundo anhela un buen liderazgo y busca constantemente a alguien que satisfaga este deseo. Sólo en Cristo hemos visto el ejemplo de un rey o líder conforme al corazón de Dios. Como estamos llamados a seguirle, también estamos llamados a emular su manera de ser siervos en el mundo y en la Iglesia. En Cristo encontramos a uno que no derriba ni divide, sino que edifica y repara para la gloria del nombre de Dios. Él es quien viene a servir, más que a ser servido, y sus seguidores están llamados a hacer lo mismo.
Hoy en día, el Oriente Medio está experimentando la pérdida de su pueblo en el exilio, ya que la "rectitud y la justicia" se están convirtiendo en bienes escasos, no sólo allí sino en todo el mundo.
Los líderes, tanto en el mundo como en la Iglesia, tienen la responsabilidad de unir en lugar de dispersar o dividir al pueblo de Dios. Cuanto más fielmente emulen los cristianos el liderazgo de servicio de Cristo, tanto más se superará la división tanto en el mundo y la Iglesia.

Oración
​
Dios, nuestro único refugio y fortaleza, ayúdanos a buscar a nuestro Señor Jesucristo no en los palacios de los poderosos sino en el humilde pesebre y a emularlo en su mansedumbre. Anímanos a vaciarnos mientras nos servimos unos a otros en obediencia a ti. Te lo pedimos en el nombre de Cristo que, contigo y con el Espíritu Santo, reina para siempre en la gloria. Amén.
Day 2, Humble leadership breaks down walls and builds up with love. “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews?” (Matthew 2:2)
​
Scripture
  • Philippians 2:5-11, Who... did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited.
  • Matthew 20:20-28, The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve.

Meditation
​
Jeremiah denounces the bad leadership of the kings of Israel who divided and scattered the people. In contrast, the Lord promises a shepherd-king who will “execute justice and righteousness in the land” and gather together the members of his flock.
Our world craves good leadership and is constantly seeking someone who will fulfill this desire. Only in Christ have we seen the example of a king or leader after God’s heart. As we are called to follow him, we are also called to emulate his way of servant-kingship in the world and in the Church. In Christ we encounter one who does not tear down and divide but builds up and makes whole for the glory of God’s name. He is one who comes to serve, rather than be served, and his followers are called to do the same.
Today, the Middle East is experiencing the loss of its people to exile as “righteousness and justice” are becoming scarce commodities not only there but throughout the world.
Leaders, both in the world and in the Church, have responsibility to bring together rather than to scatter or divide the people of God. The more faithfully Christians emulate the servant leadership of Christ, the more divi- sion in both the world and the Church will be overcome.

Prayer
​
God, our only refuge and strength, help us to seek our Lord Jesus Christ not in the palaces of the powerful but in the humble manger and to emulate him in his meek- ness. Encourage us to empty ourselves as we serve each other in obedience to you.
We pray in the name of Christ who with you and with the Holy Spirit reigns forever in glory. Amen.

 
Day 2, Wednesday, January 19, 2022:  Humble leadership breaks down walls and builds up with love “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews?” Gospel Matthew 20:20-28
