1 Peter (Program #26) – The Mighty Hand of God and Its Goal (1)
The apostle Peter says “to gird yourself with humility toward one another because God resist the proud.” Then he says “to be humble under the mighty hand of God.” Well, humility is a striking virtue in a Christian and genuine humility bears an unmistakable fragrance, a sweet aroma of Christ being expressed in a person’s living. False, religious humility also carries an identifiable fragrance as well, but not one that attracts and drives man to it. Of course the greatest humility in the universe is that of the Lord Jesus Himself who humble Himself for our benefits, putting off His own glory and even becoming a slave for us. God’s desire today is not for us to try to imitate such humility but rather to submit ourselves to His mighty hands, receiving Him not only as our Savior from sin but even as our humility.
