Billy Graham Devotions 27th March 2020 – The Greatest Act of Humility
TODAY’S TOPIC: THE GREATEST ACT OF HUMANITY
SCRIPTURE: . . . he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. —Matthew 23:12
THE MESSAGE: In almost every instance in the Bible, as well as in life, pride is associated with failure, not success. We hear a great deal about the inferiority complex, but the superiority complex of pride is seldom spoken of. It was pride that caused the fall of Lucifer, and he became Satan, the devil. It was pride that led King Saul down to a shameful and untimely death. It was pride that caused Peter to deny his Lord.
The greatest act of humility in the history of the universe was when Jesus Christ stooped to die on the cross of Calvary. And before any man can get to heaven, he must kneel at the foot of the cross and acknowledge that he is a sinner, that he has broken the Ten Commandments of God, and that he needs the grace of God in Christ. No man can come proudly to the Savior.
What’s wrong with a little pride? Read Billy Graham’s answer.
Prayer for the day – Billy Graham Devotions 27th March 2020
Lord Jesus, You suffered such humiliation and pain for me on the cross. I ask You, humbly, to forgive my pride and errant ways that nailed You there.
