Consider Others Better

Posted: 5th March 2010 by admin in Uncategorized

“To think nothing of one’s self, and always to think well and highly of others, is great wisdom.” Oh to be like Jesus who was a servant of all! Who wants “this” holiness?? For truly this is the depths of holiness and death to self to consider others better than ourselves. Where the love of Christ abounds in us to all men. – Words from Thomas A Kempis as quoted by Greg Gordon of sermonindex.net

It took a great breaking for me to finally realize how I had considered others better than myself. God smashed my pride into the dust. Now I am certainly less than the least of God’s creatures.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst. 1 tim 1:15

If you say, “I am the worst sinner” then I should say, “Yeah you are.” Right?!
