Humility

Humility.

Biblical humility is NOT thinking of yourself as being worthless or less than.
Biblical humility IS knowing who you are in Christ and being confident in that.
Best example is Jesus in John 13 washing the disciples feet. Washing feet was the job of a servant, someone thought of as “less than” by others. Jesus demonstrated that serving others, by choice, doesn’t make you “less than”. In fact He demonstrated His total confidence in who He was. His humility did not diminish His position nor His authority.
As men we need to remember that it doesn’t diminish us to serve and honor our family, our bosses, our employees, our teachers, our students, our brothers and sisters in Christ, our friends, or our enemies. (Jesus washed Peter’s feet knowing Peter would deny Him 3 times and washed Judas feet knowing he would betray Him).
I have heard humility defined as thinking ABOUT yourself less, not thinking less Of yourself.
Let’s walk confidently in Christ humbly serving others.

Been With Jesus

  Acts 4:13   Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.   I saw a clip from an interview with R.T. Kendall where he was asked this question, “After 70 years in ministry what would be your advice to a young R.T. Kendall?”  His answer was that though he himself has many degrees he would not recommend to young ministers to go to seminary.  He mentioned Acts 4:13. His recommendation was to do 2 things.  Pray a lot and know your Bible. He said that God wants us to know 2 things, His Word and His ways. He pointed out that how we know His ways or anyone’s ways is to spend time with them. This is not the first time that Acts 4:13 has jumped out to me. This time I ask myself the question do unbelievers know that I have been with Jesus?  The they that realized in Acts 4:13 wasn’t the church but unbelievers....
