Thursday: Look at Him
Daily Lesson for Thursday 16th of April 2026
Read Luke 22:27 again. What is the key message for all of Christ’s followers here?
In stark contrast to the disciples’ desire to be superior and their belief that they were better than the next guy, we see Jesus—the ultimate example of humility. Jesus, who said, “ ‘Yet I am among you as the One who serves’ ” (Luke 22:27, NKJV). Jesus, who every day gave to those in need around Him because He was filled with compassion and saw the multitudes as sheep without a shepherd. He knew that humanity needed Him more than anything else in life, though few realized this simple truth. Jesus, who gave up heaven to die for the human race in the hope that they would understand His act of grace and respond to His invitation to have a relationship with Him.
Read Philippians 2:3-8. What do these verses tell us about how we should live in light of the Cross?

Jesus did it all. He bore all. When we pause long enough to see Him—truly and purely—we can’t help realizing our impurity, our filth, and our desperate need of Him in our lives today.
When we look to Him, everything else (especially ourselves and our own perceived greatness) pales into complete insignificance. Who Jesus is, what He has done, and how much He loves His creation becomes front and center. Self will surely disappear when we look at Him.
Jesus. What a beautiful, mighty name. He is the epitome of humility. When our open hearts learn about Him, when we understand what He has done for us, and when we allow His words of life to seep into our minds, we realize how proud and wretched we really are. If His own disciples, who lived and learned from Him, struggled with pride, we can’t fool ourselves that we are any different. Ultimately, we can grow in our relationship with Jesus only when we are humble.

Spend some extra time with Him right now. Take your Bible, a pen, and a journal or some paper and find somewhere quiet—perhaps even outside. Invite God to soften and speak to your heart. Write out Psalms 138:1-8, word for word. As you write, what words especially stand out to you? |

We believe the world is broken, […] Source: https://atoday.org/youre-not-falling-apart-youre-just-living-in-a-broken-world/
