Not long ago I completed a study of the four Gospels. My objective was to find out what made Jesus such a great leader. I wanted to discover those qualities in Jesus’ life that He both practiced and passed along to others (especially other leaders). Altogether, I found twelve items that made Jesus the world’s most remarkable leader. In this Prayer Guide we will briefly examine the first outstanding element in Jesus’life: PROFOUND HUMILITY.
Humility is the root beneath every spiritual fruit (including successful prayer). Jesus knew this, and he was without any doubts the most humble person ever to live on earth. From start to finish, Jesus knew that a humble disposition was required if he (or anyone else) were to bring glory to God. Too often the world looks on the OUTSIDE, but Jesus knew that God looked on the INSIDE, and what God wanted to see, more than anything else, was A HUMBLE HEART (see Matt. 20:20-28; Lk. 22:39-44 and Phil. 2:5-11).
