More excerpts from Humility True Greatness by C.J. Mahaney
REFLECT ON THE CROSS
Martin Lloyd-Jones:
There is only one thing I know of that crushes me to the ground and humiliates me to the dust, and that is to look at the Son of God, and especially contemplate the cross.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
Carl Henry: How can anyone be arrogant when he stands beside the cross?
An ungrateful person is a proud person. If I'm ungrateful, I'm arrogant. And if I'm arrogant, I need to remember God doesn't sypathize with me in that arrogance; He is opposed to the proud.
And now you need to read the rest of the book.
