Part 6: Ultimate Humility, Ultimate Glory
To a congregation who were experiencing some conflict, Paul quoted this ancient hymn about how Jesus gave up all His rights to save us, and will someday receive the praise of the whole earth. It’s a reminder to us of the lesson Christ taught His disciples over and over again: Humility is the way to glory.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
