Words that describe the disposition of the Christ we see in Scripture: humble, thankful, righteous, a servant—His only ambition to submit to His Father’s will. He was consumed with loving God and those around Him. Words that describe many of Christ’s followers (Christian famous or otherwise): proud, greedy, sinful, self-focused—our most driving ambition to free ourselves from having to rely on the Father (i.e., self-sufficiency). We are consumed with ourselves and use those around us for our own advancement.
