Humility | The Path To Greatness
Shared on: Feb 22, 2021
Jesus brought forth into the world something called the "Upside-Down Kingdom." It is a Kingdom that says, "Do you want to be exalted, you must humble yourself. If you want to live, you must die. If you want to be the greatest, you must become the least." The estate of humiliation was a path the Jesus walked for 33 years while living on this planet. As his children, he calls us to do the same.
