谦卑

在耶稣基督里的谦卑与属世的日常谦卑不是一码事。

1. 基督徒知道耶稣是如何的谦卑。耶稣本是神，圣灵感孕，道成肉身，却甘愿受辱受鞭伤，彼得说基督徒因他的鞭伤便得了医治，这说法是真的。最终耶稣被钉死在十字架上，用他在十字架上流的宝血洗净了我们的罪。耶稣总称呼自己是人子，即人类的儿子，因为他来是服事人，而不是受人的服事。总之，贵为伟大的神，却谦卑下来舍己为人! 

2. 基督徒谦卑下来，就会体会到神的爱是多么的长阔高深。当一个基督徒认可自己一切的罪都是耶稣洗净的，而不是靠自己做了什么好事而得救的时候，他就能感受到神的爱。切记基督徒得救并有神的祝福仅仅只是因为相信耶稣的死与复活，即神的恩典，而不是因为基督徒本身做的如何好。因为做得如何好是基督徒在基督里由圣灵结出的果子(这果子是信心产生的行为表现，雅各书上说信心没有行为就是死的)，这果子是耶稣与天父的荣耀。

3. 谦卑下来，才有原谅他人的能力，才能不口口声声的总定罪别人。谦卑下来，就会认可自己也是坏到极致的那种，也是不完美的那种，也是有这样那样缺点的那种，哪里还有资格说别人这不好那不好呢? 这个认识会让人有原谅别人的力量。使徒保罗曾说自己是罪人里的罪魁，这等的谦卑让他时时刻刻都活在主的爱里，因为主对他这个罪魁依然进行了拯救与赦免。每个人眼里都有梁木，哪里有资格说别人眼里有刺呢?

4. 谦卑下来，良心才会清洁，即无亏的良心是被耶稣的宝血洗净的。谦卑下来，就会承认自己不是完美的人，领受耶稣赦免一切的罪，并且耶稣还会给于补偿，别忘了基督徒的身份之一是祭司。耶稣说:"清心的人有福了，他们必得见神"。这里清心的人就是良心清洁的人。

只要保持在耶稣这颗葡萄树上就会自然而然的接出果子; 到时候就会像雅各一样在失去摔跤能力后与神与人较力，都得了胜; 凡自己谦卑像小孩子的在天国里就是最大的。
