He Humbled Himself.

WE make a mistake about the Apostles, we often think of them as if they were eagles soaring above all. Paul says “I was with you in weakness, and fear, and much trembling.” There were great people at Corinth. Paul was a blessed vessel, but the vessel must be made nothing of. What we have to learn is being nothing, that Christ may be everything. If a person is humble, he does not want to be humble; but if he is humble, he must be. Are we content to walk in the secret of God? The Lord gives us to learn practically what it is thus to pass through this world. You can get neither the Christian nor the Church in a state that Christ is not sufficient for. The Lord give us to know our nothingness.
