Proud Ambition and Prevailing Grace

Luke 22:24-30 | JD Summers

The ambition that the twelve disciples displayed at the Last Supper was a common problem for them, and so it is for us. Though our hearts often strive to be great and gain power by means of exalting ourselves above others, in reality, true greatness is exemplified in humble service. Our pride leads to conflict with others and a rebuke from Christ, but lowering ourselves to serve others shows love to them and brings joy to our Savior. Let us humble our hearts to serve and rejoice that God’s grace has enabled proud people like us to find true greatness by simple submission!
