To be humble is very difficult when we consider the privileged position we have been given. When Abraham took his only son Isaac up the hill to sacrifice and the ram was found trapped by it's horns, that ram would have been damaged if trapped in any other way, and the horn in heraldry is the symbol of power and authority, just like Christ surrendered his power and authority at the right hand of The Father to become a humble human.
This sermon brought me low, as it should. I have been plagued by a false sense of humility. Even the great sin of believing myself to be “humble enough”. I’m reminded of Job’s words “If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.” And Job is a man many times more upright than me, and even his righteousness isn’t the standard, but the Lord Jesus Christ’s

Be better to be before the teacher until the teacher a quits you from your ignorance and hopefully with love and grace then let the mouths of babes be open and be bound together as one Speaking the same language of truth truth unfolds itself into it's reality and into its supposition of relationship and not into theories of speculation which leaves people scratching their heads this is not theories that need to be searched out forever and ever with no concrete evidence because the concrete is already etched in stone and there is no compromising about it unless you just completely our void of what is the actual fact and what is actual truth you can't flip flop the truth oh you can try but it's always going to flop back in your face because the truth is the truth no matter how you tried to bend it or shape it until what you want it to mean so just take heed and discover this I like Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free even if you don't believe Jesus is real if anybody said that to me I'd like to find out if that is true or not because anybody that would say you will know the truth and the truth will set you free I wouldn't blow it off shovel it under the table I would say or I would hope you would say wait a minute let me check this out then make a determination that would be wise otherwise you're going to be the guessing guest of the guessers
