Matthew 23:11-12
But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Matthew 23:11-12
Isn’t the above verse great? I love it! It takes all of the pressure off of me. It’s not about how great I am or how religious I can be, because I don’t have to strive to be the greatest. We just have to simply seek to serve one another as we allow God to lift us up.
It takes title, position, and pride off of the table and puts us all on the same playing field. Just seek to serve one another as Jesus did and leave the honoring to the One who really sees things clearly. Don’t seek to be exalted or to exalt others in our eyes, leave that to the Lord. He isn’t fooled by man’s religious works.
