In Norway once an American traveler had taken a berth on a night train. He complained when he found he had been given an upper berth on the sleeper; he thought he should have been given a lower.
But the man who had the lower berth, though a complete stranger said, “I’ll change with you. You take my lower berth.” The American accepted.
In the morning the traveler cheerfully greeted the American. He was glad to meet him. “And I hope,” he said, “you will remember Prince Bernadotte! I am on my way to carry the gospel to the ‘Laplanders’ —who live in the land of the reindeer.”
The American blushed, for he was ashamed when he found so distinguished a stranger had taken such a humble place for his sake.
“I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.” Eccles. 10:77I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. (Ecclesiastes 10:7).
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” 2 Cor. 8:99For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. (2 Corinthians 8:9).
