Introduction
Very few if any person is naturally humble.
Pride comes to us as easily as sleeping or smiling.
So does arrogance.
In our world today, arrogance is rewarded, and humility is ignored.
Discipline Defined - Training expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement.
You cannot ignore humility and be an effective servant of Christ
Christ said if you follow me, 3 things have to take place
note he did not say get a whole lot of knowledge
The first order of business of three is to deny self - then take up your cross, then follow me
Very good definition of humility – Self-denial
Self is public enemy #1
But “self” dies slowly and painfully (Adam and Eve surrendered to self)
Jesus did not tell them to compromise the truth, but to be loving patient with the weaker brethren
3 Illustrations of Humility
Jesus, Paul, Peter
James and John great things in mind for themselves
Jockeying to see who’s going to sit on the right or who on the left
Jesus you’re Santa and here’s what I want
The enormous logs in your eyes prevent you from seeing the specs in other’s eyes
Paul
The world - that’s crazy talk
Stop being selfish
Marriage helps this, and kids
Don’t look out for your own interests
Help others get ahead
Forget yourself long enough to lend a hand
Finally, Peter
Ali said it awful hard to be humble when you’re the greatest
After winning a heavy weight championship, gets on the plane back to NY.
Humility feels unnatural - practice will make it a habit
