Humility and truth (part 2)


(Continues on from Everybody thinks they have THE TRUTH)

There’s nothing wrong with being confident in your version of truth, but when it results in attacking and slamming others who don’t agree with you, telling them they are idiots or that they are going to hell, then problems arise!

There really is no humility at all in this approach, and without humility, I would say we haven’t experienced the barest inkling of truth!  For those that have, I believe, are the most humble of all!

Take it from Jesus:

Matthew 18  (New International Version)

The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them.
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
