' "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." '
[Matthew 23:12]
We are advised to be humble, for those who are humble will be exalted. Jesus Himself came as a holy Servant, and He was truly the greatest among all men. In this world and by men, we tend to determine greatness by position and earthly power. But believers determine greatness in Jesus, by how we serve others... or at least we should. Pride often gets in the way of being a purehearted servant of Christ. We may say that we serve others in the name of Christ, but we can often let that service make us believe we are thus greater than others. That is not true servanthood.
