Humble
When it comes to humility: Better to be than made to be. Humble is good, even Godly; humbled is hard. Jesus shares what, for some, may be the harsh realities of this new Kingdom life into which we've been born. If you choose to exalt yourself now, you will be humbled in the future. If you choose to humble yourself today, you will be exalted (by God) in the future. The question seems to revolve around who is doing the promotion. All eyes are on Jesus.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
