3. The Kings Instructions - Matt 18
Be Humble – 18:1-20!
‘Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.’
Philippians 2:3f [NLT]
