II. The Spiritual Depth of a Submissive Christian

Meekness is having the authority to command, but the willingness to be a submissive servant instead. Only those who recognize they are bankrupt of any kind of righteousness and are resultantly broken hearted about their propensity to sin will assassinate the pride in their lives and voluntarily submit themselves to become the servants of others. We cannot be used of Christ to accomplish His purpose in this world if we are trying to play king on the mountain.
