Humility...
LOVES others sacrificially (10:32-45)
•Be grateful—the life your live is only possible because Jesus gave up his (10:32-34).
As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on thing and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.
C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
•Be teachable—don’t tell Jesus what to do; ask him what you should do (10:35)
•Be like Jesus—don’t wait to be served when there are so many opportunities to serve others (10:44-45).
