Humility and you

  Humility and you

The Apostle Paul wrote,

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others” Philippians 2:3-4.

Christians are called to a life of humility. In the gospel of Mark we read,

"Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” Mark 9:35.

Are you a servant? Are you humble? When others look at your life would they consider you humble? Do you look out for the interest of others?

The apostle Paul wrote of Jesus,

“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:5-8.

So are you humble and at the very least willing to be the servant of all?

Please think about it.
