Slave of All Part II

This is a quote I read today in Helper by Design, a book I am reading by Elyse Fitzpatrick. It speaks to the submission and humility that I discussed a few blogs ago in Slave of All. She poinantly said,
"Do you have Christ's attitude? He taught, 'A slave is not greater than
his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him' (John
13:16). At heart, do you believe that you ought to have rights that
the Son of God declined?"
That last sentence is a hard one to swallow. It made me think about all the entitlement I expect, and how silly and vain I appear in the light of Jesus. Try asking yourself that question if you dare.

Great point. It takes a lot of humility to truly have that attitude...
