The Call To Humility/ Humility Makes You More Like Jesus
Let Christ himself be your example as to what your attitude should be. For he, who had always been God by nature, did not cling to his prerogatives as God’s equal, but stripped himself of all privilege by consenting to be a slave by nature and being born as mortal man. And, having become man, he humbled himself by living a life of utter obedience, even to the extent of dying, and the death he died was the death of a common criminal. Today’s message is a call to humility. Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking about yourself less.
