"Though his ministry follows mine, I'm not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandal."
John 1:27, NLT
John the Baptist said he was not even worthy to be Christ's slave, to perform the humble task of unfastening his shoes. But according to Luke 7:28, Jesus said that John was the greatest of all prophets. If such a great person felt inadequate even to be Christ's slave, how much more should we lay aside our pride to serve Christ!
When we truly understand who Christ is, our pride and self-importance melt away.
