Summary
The Cross of Christ Unites. . .In Humility
Steps to Take as You Follow Christ
Ask——In what areas of my life do I have the most trouble with pride?
Seek—Pray the Litany of Humility. What parts of the litany do you find it most difficult to say? Take concrete steps to defer to others throughout the day, to die to yourself in little things.
Knock—Meditate on Philippians 2:5–9.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.
Are you more like Christ, or our first parents, seeking to “be like God”?
Transform Your Life—Jesus tells his disciples that those who humble themselves will be exalted! Humility is the surest path to real success in the kingdom of God. Pray for humility throughout every day.
