Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 1 Peter 5:6 . The way of the world is pomp and circumstance.  ``Make way for me.”

                ``Look me over.”  Not so for the Christian.  As an example, we can look to our Savior, who being found in the fashion of a man, humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the

                death of the cross. And why should we be proud? Everything that we have was given to us; every blessing we receive was purchased by His sacrifice on the cross. As one of the old Puritans

                put it, ``All  our blessings come swimming to us in the blood of Jesus.”
