Christian Humility
Matthew 20:28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.


He is the most lovely professor, who is the most lowly professor. As incense smells the sweetest when beaten the smallest, so saints look fairest when they lie lowest. Arrogance in the soul resembles the spleen in the body, which grows most, while other parts are decaying. God will not suffer such a weed to grow in His garden, without taking some course to root it up.

(Archbishop Secker.)
