TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 7, 2022
Wednesday, December 7, 2022 at 9:31AM A Humble Legacy
Today is December 7, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
In James chapter 4, James talks about the need to show humility when it comes to conflict within the church. And...
Humility, humility is not easy.
Especially when you feel like you are in the right. When you feel more capable, more experienced, more educated; when you feel like you just know and they don’t.
I mean, how can one yield in that situation? How can one show submissiveness in that situation?
Humility. Humility is not easy.
And the larger the perceived gap between the two parties – whether size or strength; knowledge or wisdom; age or experience – the harder it is to show humility.
I mean, how can the strong humble themselves to the weak? How can the wise humble themselves to the fools? How can the experienced humble themselves to the naïve?
Humility. Humility is not easy.
But that is exactly what God does for us. God – the all powerful, all knowing – humbled himself by becoming man – Jesus Christ - who humbled himself by becoming a servant, who humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross. All that so that we might live. All that so that we might have eternal life.
Oh how great the love of God is for us as demonstrated by his humility.
And, for those who call themselves his disciples, it is the same kind of humility he calls all of us to show today.
So, yes
Humility, humility is not easy.
But in humility, as James reminds us in James 4:10, God will lift you up.
God's blessing as you meditate on humility this season, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
