Jesus Teaching the Proud What Humility Really Is
About this episode
This episode explores how Jesus teaches humility and true greatness through service, contrasting pride with His merciful nature.
In this sermon from Matthew 20:17–34, we see how Jesus responds to pride—not with harshness, but with humility, patience, and mercy. While His disciples argue over greatness, Jesus reveals a better way: true greatness is found in serving others and following Him to the cross. From proud ambition to blind desperation, this passage shows that Christ is both the humble King and the merciful Savior who opens blind eyes and transforms proud hearts.
