Honor and be Humble with One Another

"Honor and be Humble with One Another"

Romans 12:10, I Peter 5:5 and Philippines 2:1-11, Matthew 23:12.

Scripture calls to honor one another, which means to put others above ourselves, and to humble ourselves means to put ourselves below or behind others.  Jesus is our best example of both of these things, and we also see from Him that, in the end, God exalts those who humble themselves.

Community: The One Another Verses

One of the greatest gifts God gives us is the community of the Church.  This community supports and encourages us in so many ways. It is also an important witness to the world and an essential tool for ministry as we reach out to those who don't know Jesus and seek to draw them into the Church.  Yet, life in community isn't always easy.  For that reason, this fall, we'll be looking at what is known as the "one another" passages. To paraphrase Scott Hubbard, the "one another" passages offer a brilliant picture of life together in community, not only under the lordship of Christ but also in the pattern of Christ.  Rightly understood, the one-another passages are nothing less than the life of Christ at work in the people of Christ to the glory of Christ.
