The Consequences of Pride

Jesus taught about humility in a very practical way. Yet, sometimes people didn't understand the magnitude of what he was saying. Even those who were close to him, such as His disciples, missed that teaching. One of their most common arguments centered on the question of which of them was the greatest or would be the greatest one day.----------One of the reasons Christ taught so clearly about the dangers of pride was because of its fundamental connection to so much of our struggle with sin. By seeking humility through our relationship to Christ, we can better avoid the temptations to succumb to sinful urges and desires.
