Humility v Pride

Humble to learn from others
Humble to take criticisms without being hurt emotionally;
Humble to serve
Humble to sit in the back row
Learn from Christ’s humility who emptied His glories in heaven, humble Himself and came to earth born as a man to virgin Mary, taught us, healed the sick and helpless, suffered and humiliated at the hands of His creation and died for our sins to demonstrate His great love for us when we were yet sinners. Anyone who called upon Him, believes and accept Him as their personal Savior will receive eternal life (sins all paid for by Him on the cross);
