Who are you?!

How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes! Matthew 24:46

Corrie Ten Boom tells this story in her book, Each New Day. “When I saw Sadhu Sundar Singh in Europe, he had completed a tour around the world. People asked him, Doesn’t it do harm, your getting so much honor?” The Sadhu’s answer was: “No. The donkey went into Jerusalem, and they put garments on the ground before him. He was not proud. He knew it was not done to honor him, but for Jesus, who was sitting on his back. When people honor me, I know it is not me, but the Lord, who does the job.”



The world’s standards of greatness : money, success, power and fame Which means nothing to God.!!! Yes, If we truly aspire to greatness, we will learn from Jesus’ example.

The importance of Humility : God uses broken things. 

It takes broken soil to produce a crop, 
Broken clouds to produce rain, 
Broken grain to give bread and 
Broken bread to give strength. 
It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. 
It is the broken Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever.

We need to remember that we cannot train ourselves to be Christians; we cannot discipline ourselves to be saints; we cannot bend ourselves to the will of God: we have to be broken to the will of God.
