마태복음(Mat) 18장

23.03.07

3. 가라사대 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 너희가 돌이켜 어린 아이들과 같이 되지 아니하면 결단코 천국에 들어가지 못하리라

3. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

4. 그러므로 누구든지 이 어린 아이와 같이 자기를 낮추는 그이가 천국에서 큰 자니라

4. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

I think that humbling myself starts from knowing myself, in other word, my sinful nature and my unforgettable sins. Then I can't look down on others who look little, poor, weak, and even who are disabled or powerless. But the problem is that I forget the grace of Him very often and quickly and have a tendency of putting myself up higher than them or my close friends, families, or neighbors. All kinds of sins that cause so-called these little people to stumble comes from proudness, which also could come from God as He forgave my sins and called me His precious child. However, it is not His fault, rather it is me who is going back to the place of sins, the arrogance. So one of the ways I use mostly is to try to serve them, without thinking of receiving anything from them as I have received freely from my Father. I would like to serve anyone who is little in His eyes, because it is His will and i am sure that it pleases Him more than anything I do in a daily basis.
