Just a simple thought for today; consider Jesus Christ.
We know that pride is an ugly sin and we like to be humble; consider Jesus Christ.
He claimed to be God; the Bible explains He died for sin, He rose from the grave and He still lives.
Through faith in Jesus Christ we can experience eternal life; we can know the One true God.
As I consider Christ's amazing love for me, I am humbled! I am more humbled by His love than by a consciousness of my guilt. Why would God love me?
To overcome my pride I must stop thinking about myself and consider Jesus Christ.
To paraphrase Andrew Murray; true humility is giving up self, humility is self-forgetfulness.
Humility occurs when we take our eyes off of ourselves and focus on God the Father, on Jesus Christ, on the Holy Spirit. Humility is disappearance of self, not a low opinion of yourself.
Just a simple thought for toady; humbly consider Jesus Christ.
