Who Do You Say That I AM? A Journey With Jesus Sermon 31 Luke 9:46-48 I. Promotion comes through humility. Ps. 75:5-7 "Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility." - Augustine Matt. 23:11-12 1 Peter 5:6 Phil 2:5-11 "Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness and gentleness, to win and serve and save us." - Andrew Murray Luke 9:49-56 II. Power comes through yielding. 2 Cor. 12:9-10 "If you look up into His face and say, 'Yes, Lord, whatever it costs,' at that moment He'll flood your Life with His presence and power." - Alan Redpath Luke 9:57-62 III. Position comes through trust. John 8:31 Eph. 2:4-7 "I really don't think ... you are in a bargaining position with God. He is the Master. He is the Commanding Officer. It is not for you to have input. It is simply for you to accept the orders as the orders are given." - Elizabeth Elliot "The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us in our daily conduct." - Andrew Murray
