Humility Is the Road to Greatness
One of the chief objects of man is to make for himself a name—a reputation. But when Christ became a man, He "made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant." The word says to the Christian, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." As our Example, "He humbled Himself," and what was the result?—"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name." So all who follow Him in humble obedience to the commandments of God will inherit eternal life and a part in the honors attaching to His name. Then humility of heart and life is the sure road to a truly great name.
