The attitude of pride can often be the driving force behind many problems the church is facing today. This was an attitude also observed amongst the disciples of Jesus and often triggered problems amongst them. In our last sermon, we learned that Jesus, on the other hand, came to be a servant. He came to sacrifice his life for us. In the gospels we never find him pursuing his own interests. His whole life and ministry were for others. The Bible calls this behaviour “The attitude of Christ”. In it, we discover the solution for pride. Jesus’ example helps us empty ourselves, serve others, empathize and obey God. This attitude joined the disciples and it is an attitude that unites the church today.
