“…in these days whoever will do even a little good, in accordance with his powers, will please God and be called great in the heavenly kingdom: for the small good deed done willingly, of one’s own accord, is accepted by the Lord like a great good.”
– Martyr George the Victory-Bearer
“And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.”
Matthew 10:24
“More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things– indeed, I regard them as dung! – that I may gain Christ” Philippians 3:8
“Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self
in the vision that God is all”
Andrew Murray
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross”
Philippians 2:5,8
“He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows…”
Isaiah 53:3
“To identify with our plight, He came to see the darkness of this world, to touch our infirmities, to know our sorrows, and to reveal to us the heart of His heavenly Father. He was the Holy One walking amid depravity, the pure One feeling the oppression of religion and politics and the darkness and sin of fallen man. He was power wrapped in humility. He was the shining forth of the Light and Life of God Himself into a lost world. As God incarnate, He could fully realize the weakness of the human heart into which He breathed the power of the Love and Mercy of God.”
