Refining Our Humility

Often times we think the tasks we do outside of the priorities in our lives makes us humble, when really, we do them as tasks, not serving, therefore we're not as humble as we think we are.  In today's episode, I'm going to highlight the Gospel of Matthew 18:1-6 and discuss how Jesus not only shows us that our serving others should be done with the mindset of serving God, but He also gives us a wonderful example of the humility we're to have when we approach God, which is to match the humility of a child.  Because if we fail and/or dismiss how we need to become like little children, then unfortunately, by our own doing, we forfeit entering into the kingdom of heaven.  He also makes it very clear that anyone who hinders a believing child to sin, should expect severe punishment for preventing them from entering their rightful position in the kingdom of heaven.  So in a small handful of verses, He connects humility, serving, as well as the dangers of misleading children to one simple concept:  Being His disciple or not.  

Please note that this is my personal interpretations of the scripture to the best of my current knowledge and understanding.  I encourage anyone to please check and verify as the scripture encourages all believers to do so.  There may be times where I have overlooked and/or misunderstood information by mistake which is why verifying is important if you feel lead by the Holy Spirit to do so.
