Many people take their cues from the society of self-serving individuals.
Religious leaders in Jesus' day made a display of their religion, sought out the seats of honor, and had themselves addressed by honorable titles-indeed not to honor God by the office they held but to exalt themselves. Jesus gives the scribes and Pharisees and all their imitators something to think about when He declares that all self-seeking efforts are counterproductive, their outcomes opposite of what was intended. Christian humility is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ, who to redeem us humbled Himself to the point of death on the cross. And just as He was lifted up from the grave, so we shall be exalted into heaven to reign with Him forever. Lord God, take away from me all pride and arrogance and adorn me with the precious level of Christ-like humility.
