Following Jesus – Week 11
Jesus holds up humility as an essential character of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:1-4). Note the humility of a child: sincere, sensitive, and simple. The humblest child has the ability to influence many souls. Forgiveness is a characteristic of the kingdom as well (Matthew 18:21-35). You can’t even count the importance and value of forgiveness. God’s forgiveness is extreme; forgiveness is divine.
Walk Wisely – Week 1
We live in the age of information. There is more data at our fingertips than ever in history. However, all that information does not translate into wise living (Ephesians 5:15-16). The wisdom of Proverbs 1:1-7 tells us to pursue wisdom. It takes intentional living; do not reject or mock wisdom. Wisdom invites you to engage and grow (Proverbs 1:20-23). But it takes humility and an understanding that all wisdom is from God; He is eager to gift it (James 1:5).
Humility from Heaven
The hymn Christ-Hymn of Philippians 2 is masterfully honoring the humanity and deity of Christ. Paul paints Jesus at the highest peak of
honor, placing his name above all creation; and shows this from the vantage point of the lowest points of humanity; emptied, humble and obedient.
