A person who humbles himself and serves the church and his neighbors, like Jesus, is great in the kingdom of God. “A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.’” (Luke 22:24–27).

在离世前宽恕
“在离世前宽恕自己，也要宽恕他人。”——摘自米奇·阿尔博姆（Mitch

“唯有在死后才给予的宽恕，并非真正的宽恕。
真正的宽恕，是在我们尚且活着时所给予的。
宽恕，是一条既能救赎自己、也能救赎他人的道路。”
我们必须在离世前宽恕。
若在面对死亡时仍无法宽恕自己或他人，
便无法迎来一个美好的离世时刻。
面对死亡时，还有什么不能宽恕的呢？我们必须宽恕一切。
为此，我们必须铭记耶稣在十字架上的受死，
并以一种尊崇祂牺牲的心态来面对自己的死亡。
正如耶稣为宽恕我们所有的罪而死在十字架上，
我们在临近死亡时，也必须宽恕自己与他人。
即使在生命的最后时刻，我们也必须践行这种真正的宽恕。
