The Character of Jesus - HUMILTY

Read Mark 12:38-40.

"And in His teaching he was saying, 'Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market place.'" (v. 38)

Jesus taught to not seek popularity or respect or honor or recognition. Yet, He had all these from certain people. He exemplified the antithesis of pride and self-seeking behavior.

I need to not see myself as "more" worthy than others. I need to NOT seek recognition by the work that I do. Keep me humble, Lord.
