ACHIEVING GREATNESS THROUGH HUMILITY – MARK 10: 32-45
Pride comes in all shapes and sizes. Some of us put ourselves on a pedestal from which we judge the faults of everyone else. Others struggle with low self-esteem that they cannot take their eyes off themselves and their own inadequacies. Still others swing like a pendulum from one extreme to the other.
Personal Reflection: What is the difference between humility and a poor self-image? Reflect on Jesus’ humility. Spend time in prayer asking God to use this study to build a little more of Jesus’ character in you.
Paul exhorts us neither to exalt nor to belittle ourselves, but rather to think of ourselves with sober judgment (Romans 12:3). In Mark 10 we see that the disciples too were constantly learning to live humbly like the Lord Jesus. Read Mark 10:32–45.
