1 | pride and ego | Matt 16:24 | strts5 | 193075 | ||
Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For me right now in my life I take this to mean I need to die to my own ego and pride. Is there an easy way to do this? I have spent 30 years building it up and its painful to deal with, especially when I don't recognize what the true pride is that is so contrary to Christ. I'm pretty sure there is no shortcut, but if someone knows one... (wishful thinking). This is a recurring theme in my life and a lesson I want to learn and get over with (I know there will always be a little tug of war). Any thoughts are appreciated. Mike R. ps I love asking questions here, there is no one who knows me and gives biased answers based on personal relationship with me. |

2 | pride and ego | Matt 16:24 | canawedding | 193174 | ||
Paul wrote in Ro 8:17 and elsewhere that true Christians will suffer with Jesus Christ because all true Christians will be persecuted. However, it all begins with Mt 6:33. First means first and what Jesus Christ said there has everything to do with His narrow Gate and His narrow Road that few will find. | ||||||
