On August 25th, I made a case for Humility as the most important character trait. I still feel that way.
Humility also has a foundational role in the discipleship of the believer. First, our interaction with the cross should humble, if that interaction is genuine and heart-level. How can we survey the wondrous cross, looking upon the One who was crucified and know that He did it for me and not be brought low.
Second, I need humility to learn, to accept, to listen, to change. Pride tells me that I am self-sufficient, but humility reminds me that I need help, I need others, I need a Savior.
