Let's Go Back to the Bible

“The simplest and most significant lesson of all”

In the Marvel film, Doctor Strange, the Ancient One was trying to get a message through to the heart of a very self-centered man. These words seemed to hit the spot: “Arrogance and fear still keep you from learning the simplest and most significant lesson of all…It’s not about you.” The Ancient One absolutely nailed it! But, that truth did not originate with Marvel!

In the marvel-filled book, The Bible, the Ancient of Days is trying to get a message through to the hearts of a very self-centered creation. These words absolutely hit the spot: “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit…In lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself…Give preference to one another in honor…He who is greatest among you shall be your servant…Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor” (Phil. 2:3-4; Rom. 12:10; Matt. 23:11; 1 Cor. 10:24). The Ancient of Days absolutely nailed it! He originated Truth!

Have I learned the simplest and most significant lesson of all? It’s not about me!
