Humility
January 20, 2025
This week we want to revisit a topic that we've discussed before... Humility. It's defined as having a modest view of one's own importance. In a world that calls us to look out for ourselves first, living with humility means living a life of selflessness. It means putting others before yourself. Even when it's hard to do. Especially when it's hard to do. Let's talk about what it looks like to live out Humility:
The Corner
"But first, serve"- Living this life to the full requires that we set goals and seek to make the most of the opportunities that come our way. But first, serve. Before anything else, serve. When you find yourself looking down, look up. When you find yourself concerned with your own convenience and schedule, lend a helping hand. Find needs and meet the needs of people. When you serve as an expression of humility, you open the door for new opportunities, connections, or relationships. So serve. Live a life of service. Before anything else, do that.
The Vine
Philippians 2:5-8
"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross!"
Earlier in Philippians 2, Paul instructs us to count others more significant than ourselves and that is exactly what it means to live humbly. That is exactly what Jesus did for us. He emptied himself, inconvenienced himself, totally discounted his own comfort, so that he could pay the ultimate price for you and for me. What an example. What a Savior.
