PASTOR'S POST-IT: Humility

Last Sunday, Pastor Scott invited the congregation to ask him questions. That made me think that it is time for each of us to ask ourselves some earnest questions about our Christian journey and how well our daily lives reflect the faith and worship we profess. One important question centers on Jesus’ call for us to be servants, and true servanthood requires us to grow in humility. So, the question to consider this week is: Do you truly have what it takes to be a humble Christian servant?

Charles Schultz, poked fun at how difficult it is for us to be humble with one of his famous Peanuts cartoons.

We may begin with good intentions, hoping to be humble in whatever role we fill. But before long, we can find ourselves wanting to be known as a world-famous humble little whatever.

Humility is valuable not only in our spiritual lives, but also in our personal relationships. When we move beyond selfish interests and commit ourselves to the well-being of a spouse, co-worker, or partnership, we begin to practice true relational humility.

We should also be careful not to confuse humility with low self-esteem. They are not the same. Just as a narcissistic person may overvalue their gifts and abilities, a person with low self-esteem may fail to see their contributions clearly and accurately.

One way to nurture humility is to cultivate gratitude. Over the next few weeks, try naming three good things or blessings you experienced each week. If you want a greater challenge, list three good things each day for a week. A more grateful mindset can help move us toward becoming more humble.

John 13:12-16 12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.”

PASTOR'S POST-IT: Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

When I was first learning about John Wesley’s explanation of Prevenient, Justifying, and Sanctifying Grace, the names of the three types of grace seemed to be hard for me to remember. I often use word associations to remember things, thus the use of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. The P of Peanut Butter = Prevenient, J in Jelly = Justifying, S in Sandwich = Sanctifying.

Scripture: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” — Ephesians 2:8

John Wesley taught that God’s grace is at work through the whole journey of salvation. It is not three separate graces, but one grace of God moving in three important ways: before we believe, when we are made right with God, and as we are changed into the likeness of Christ.

Prevenient grace is the grace that comes before. Like the “P” in peanut butter, it reminds us that God is already reaching for us before we know how to reach for Him. This is the grace that awakens our conscience, draws us toward Christ, helps us recognize our need, and prepares our hearts to say yes to God.

Justifying grace is the grace that saves. Like the “J” in jelly, it points to the moment we trust Christ and receive forgiveness. In justifying grace, God does not wait for us to become worthy; God declares us forgiven and restores our relationship with Him through faith in Jesus Christ.

Sanctifying grace is the grace that changes us. Like the “S” in sandwich, it holds the whole life of faith together. After we are forgiven, God keeps working in us—forming our character, growing our love, freeing us from sin’s power, and moving us toward holiness. This is both a lifelong process and, as Wesley taught, may also be received as a deeper moment of entire sanctification by faith.

So today, remember your peanut butter and jelly sandwich: Prevenient grace seeks us, Justifying grace saves us, and Sanctifying grace shapes us. From the first stirring of faith to the daily work of holy love, God’s grace is not finished with us yet.

Prayer: Gracious God, thank You for the grace that comes before me, the grace that forgives me, and the grace that keeps changing me. Help me respond to Your invitation, rest in Your forgiveness, and grow in perfect love. Amen.

In His Service,
Dan Hecke
