Paul reminds these church members that they are to serve Christ with humility.
This posture of humility is a stark contrast to Roman or Jewish religious hierarchy.
God values humility.
Christ’s humble servants recognize how God views them is what matters.
Be a God pleaser, no matter what.
“Climbing the ladder” in spiritual/religious circles is a fool’s errand. Instead, serve people as if you are serving Jesus himself, because you are.
Lord Jesus, rearrange me heart to desire pleasing your above all.
