Quiet Time Notes
Notes from my daily Quiet Times with GodJesus with People - Humility in Action
January 17th, 2009Previous | Next
Jesus and John the Baptizer were very different - ie one preached in the desert and one in the cities and villages
John called the people not to focus on him but the one who was coming
Jesus came to be baptized by John - Matthew 3:11
John responds - I need to be baptized by you
John submits to Jesus' submission and baptizes Jesus
Satan hated it - they kept humbling themselves before one another - the bond of unity grew tighter and tighter
This humility continued through out their lives - John: He must become greater; I must become less - John 3:27-30
Jesus did not grasp his equality with God - Philippians 2:6
Humility kept them bonded together, even when Satan was working to divide
Pride: Keeps people from being united
Humility: Bring people together
When unity does not exist among believers: People are not willing to pay the price
Pride means too much to them
What relationship do you have that would be greatly changed if you show humility and not pride?
