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.

Do we have big enough expectations?

  Do we have big enough expectations?   How do you define hope?  Do you define it as most of the world has come to define it which is basically wishing?  Actually, hope is to have an expectation for something or that something will happen and this is especially true in a Biblical context.  Take a look at the following verses and every time you read hope say expectation.     Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.    Romans 15:12-13 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”  13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.   Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evi...
