Living with the deity of Christ day after day and comparing yourself continually to Him is one of the healthiest—and most humbling—things you can ever do.

Actually, knowing that the most humble man on the face of the earth *isn't* God is the most humbling, because no one has an excuse for not following his lead. So many backwards teachings, so little time.

Pray that you might know Christ better and increasingly be more like Him.

It's Sunday. He could be sitting in a church pew right now but no one would recognize him.

Your perspective is the one that needs correcting.

He is King of Kings and Lord of lords and the creator of the universe.

Knowing that He wants fellowship with us and calls us *friend* is enough to humble anyone.

Revelation 1:12-16 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

Revelation 1:17-19 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.
