The Hidden Jewel of Humility (3 of 4)
Daniel Rodgers
1 Peter 5:5-6
As we begin the message this morning, I want to once again repeat my opening remarks concerning humility, as we compare it to a hidden jewel.
I have entitled our series The Hidden Jewel of Humility because humility, though of great value, like a jewel, is something rarely discovered, but when found, becomes a prized possession to its owner.
QUOTE: Again, our opening quote: ''Humility is found in a vast ocean of still waters which run very deep. At the bottom lies self-esteem.

And the jewel buried deepest - which shines the brightest and gives the most light - is humility.1
Proverbs 22:4, By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life.

INTRODUCTION: This morning we are once again underscoring the word, humility. How important in the Christian life is humility? Very important!
QUOTE: Augustine once commented: ''Should you ask me what is the first thing of importance in Christianity, I should reply that the first is humility, the second is humility and third thing is humility.''
QUOTE: Andrew Murray was a missionary, statesman, educator, evangelist and pastor. He lived between 1828 and 1917. In the preface of his book, Humility, he wrote:
When I look back upon my own religious experience, or upon the church of Christ in the world, I stand amazed at the thought of how little hu ...
