Luke 9:46-50

Luke 9:46-50The Lord Jesus gives us a warning against pride and self-conceit. Our Lord Jesus Christ gives us a warning against a bigoted and illiberal spirit."[Pride] is a pestilence that walks in darkness, and a sickness that destroys at noon-day. No sin is so deeply rooted in our nature. It cleaves to us like our skin. Its roots never entirely die...It can wear the garb of humility itself. It can lurk in the hearts of the ignorant, the ungifted, and the poor, as well as in the minds of the great, the learned, and the rich.""We forget that no individual Church on earth has an absolute monopoly of all wisdom, and that people may be right in the main, without agreeing with us. We must learn to be thankful if sin is opposed, and the Gospel preached, and the devil's kingdom pulled down, though the work may not be done exactly in the way we like."Questions:1. Ryle says that pride cleaves to us like skin and can even wear the garb of humility, that is, pride is deceitful! Would we, as Ryle exhorts, add to our daily prayers to put on humility and the spirit of a little child?2. Undoubtedly, we can think of examples of those who do not do things that way we do them. What is our heart toward them? If the gospel is proclaimed, and people are saved, can we say with Paul that we rejoice?
