It was humanly impossible for the disciples to free themselves from their selfish pursuit of self-exaltation, just as it's impossible for us to free ourselves from the very same sins.

Reminding ourselves of the gospel is the most important daily habit we can establish.

To learn true humility, we need more than a redefinition of greatness; we need even more than Jesus' personal example of humble service. What we need is His death.

Individuals motivated by self-interest, self-indulgence, and a false sense of self-sufficiency pursue selfish ambition for the purpose of self-glorification.

Pride is when sinful human beings aspire to the status and position of God and refuse to acknowledge their dependence upon Him.

So make it your aim and lifelong habit, when you see someone who's serving, to be reminded of the sacrifice of the Savior, for apart from His sacrifice there is no serving.

Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness.
