Who is greatest?:
[Mat 18:1 KJV] At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
[Jhn 13:1 NKJV] Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray Him,
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel with which He was girded.
Then He came to Simon Peter. And [Peter] said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?"
Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this."
Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."
Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head!"
Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash [his] feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."
For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean."
So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
"You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for [so] I am.
"If I then, [your] Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
"For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
"If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
"I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.'
The root of all holiness is humility, and the root of ALL sin is pride.
Humility produces love, patience, kindness, compassion, grace, hope, endurance, strength, joy, edification... Truth and life.
Pride produces weakness, strife, hate, contention, discontent, spite... and ultimately death.
The culture of Yahweh, the very essence of who He is, is humility. (See Matthew 26) "Take this bread" - the bread that is not puffed up with the pride of human arrogance; "Eat of this" - take humility to the very core of your being, let it become the source of your strength; "It is My body" - humility is WHO HE IS!
The war between humility and pride is at the heart of almost all difficulties in life...
Difficulties in marriage, difficulties with children, difficulties with co-workers, difficulties with family, difficulties within "the body"...
"If only they would humble themselves..." No, my brother/sister, have you washed their feet? Have you humbled yourself? Have you been steered only by compassion or by pride as well...
~ A rebellious child (even an adult child) wants to bring his/her parents low by their actions in hopes of revealing the parent's downfalls and shortcomings, their pride... Parents, wash your children's feet: let them know you know there is none righteous, but Yahweh our heavenly Father.
Rebellious child - the surest way of shedding light on the missteps of your parents is to glorify your heavenly Father who is without misstep or fault by flooding your life with His humility and using that humility to wash your parents' feet. You will be healed, but they also will receive the healing they need. Soon you will hear them say, "It is not by any good works that we have done, but only by Him who is living in them...."
~ Do you want to lead in your home, workplace, social life, with believers... but no one is responding to the quipping of your whip or whit... Is your desire to lead driven by compassion only? Could you wash their feet with your TEARS for their suffering? Can you see where they are hungry? Feed them, serve them, love them - with a nurturing hand. If you desire to be esteemed as the greatest, you must be servant to the very least. (See Matthew 23)
The struggle between righteousness and unrighteousness is only a struggle between humility and pride.
A person, a people, a nation who is overcome with pride and puffed up in arrogance is weak and hollow, easily shaken, brought low, and destroyed. A person, a people, a nation whose only hope is in their creator Yahweh, is sturdy, strong and unshakable - full of joy and overflowing in abundance, able to bring in the suffering and shelter the sick and dying.
Is your pride worth the cost? Could you bear the glory of humility?
