Embracing Dependency

Luke 18:15-17 | JD Summers

It is normal for humans to despise weakness. We hate it in others and hate it in ourselves. But true faith in Christ includes a profound sense of need. The Kingdom of God belongs only to those who are completely dependent on Christ because he embraces the lowly and endorses lowliness as a defining characteristic of our lives. We will often be confronted with our inability, and how will we respond? Christ urges us to lean into our lowliness and boast not in ourselves, but in Christ, who raises us up.
