Taking Up Humility (Johnson)

Published: March 14, 2021, 10 a.m.

Unfortunately, our sinful human nature brings many things our way, but one of the more heinous things it brings is pride. While some will tell me that they aren\u2019t \u201cprideful\u201d in any way, in truth, all of us are because pride is at the heart of sin. Pride is what causes us to be a self-focused \u201ccreature\u201d and that description reminds us that every human being struggles with it. We want things done \u201cmy way\u201d and sometimes we are so bold to indicate that we want things done \u201cmy way\u201d or offer people \u201cthe highway\u201d. But the Christian doesn\u2019t live that way. The Christian lives \u201cHis way\u201d...period. And \u201cHis way\u201d is a life of humility and not pride. \u201cHis way\u201d is a life of humble service to Jesus by humbly living in this world and humbly serving others in His name. So today we remember that our Christian faith is one of \u201cTaking Up Humility\u201d.
