BE EXALTED BY GOD
Keywords 23:12
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and
whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
1. Jesus taught his disciples and the people to
respect the religious leaders who were stewards of the law of Moses. The law
was the word of God given to them by his servant, Moses. They should carefully
obey it and practice it. But he also warned them not to live by the example of
these same religious leaders, for their practice was poor. They did not help
God’s sheep to seek God through his living word. Instead,
they became self-seeking, promoting their own honor and exalting themselves at
the expense of the precious children God had entrusted to them.
2. Jesus is our wonderful example. He came from heaven
to be our teacher. He calls us to live under our Father God only. He is our
Messiah by his coming to die for our sins. He bore the rejection of this world
in his body and died on the cross. In this way he gave life to all who trust in
him. Jesus is the greatest, for he obeyed the Father and served sinners. We are
called to live in his image, to humbly serve sinners that they may come to know
God and have hope to be exalted by him.
Prayer Lord, thank
you for sending Jesus to serve me, a sinner. Help me to serve others, so that
they may know his glory.
One Word Seek to be
exalted by God
