Yesterday we heard Jesus call us to reject hierarchies and embrace humility in Matthew 18:1-14. Two greats from the past echo his call (and modeled it in their lives):
William Wilberforce:
...in proportion as the Christian grows in grace, he also grows in humility. Humility is indeed the vital principle of Christianity; that principle by which from first to last she lives and thrives, and in proportion to the growth or decline of which she must decay or flourish.John Stott:
At every stage of Christian development and in very sphere of Christian discipleship, pride is the greatest enemy and humility our greatest friend.Need more help on developing your humility? Read CJ Mahaney's great little book Humility.
