brokenness and humility BEFORE THE LORD is very good.

Often it's very good before man.

Indeed it is, because we are all sinners, and must all repent before God. Christ came to pay the penalty for that sin, so that we would not have to.

One of the profound issues that God has included in scripture repeatedly -and it is easy to miss if one is not careful- is that contact with the Lord very often leaves one with an overpowering sense of moral bankruptcy.

Draw your own conclusions.

If you know your Scriptures, that we need to see just how vile we are first to understand just how great Jesus Christ is, then yes, it is good.

Now, if you are a postmodern, lazy, ignorant, theologically stupid Christian like most in America these days, this will shock you as not being "conducive to good self-esteem." Well, Jesus isn't about self-esteem. He is about His glory.
