Biblical Truth: Humility - Application

As we dive into Matthew 28:19-20, we find the Great Commission—a sacred moment where Jesus entrusts His followers with the mission to “make disciples of all nations.” This calling does not come with a sense of grandeur or self-importance; instead, it beckons us to a place of humility. The very act of sharing the Gospel requires us to acknowledge that we are stewards of a profound mystery—the grace of God poured out through Christ.

To be humble is to recognize our own limitations while being fully aware of the boundless love that God offers. When we approach others with this mindset, we can guide them with both tenderness and truth, reflecting the hesed (loving-kindness) of God. This humility transforms how we engage in our communities, as we seek not to elevate ourselves but to elevate Christ in every conversation, every relationship.

Consider a gardener tending to their plants. They do not boast about their knowledge or skills; rather, they immerse themselves in the dirt, nurturing the roots that bring life. Similarly, as we step into the role of discipleship, let us embrace the mystery of God’s work in us and through us, allowing His Spirit to cultivate transformation.

In this humble posture, we discover our purpose—guiding others toward a deeper understanding of who Christ is. As we embrace the sacred mystery of our faith, we find hope not just for ourselves but for the world around us, instilling a sense of belonging and purpose in every heart we touch.
