II Corinthians 5:20 ” We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors.”

Charles Spurgeon once wrote, “Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servant: then pride will be impossible.” Anytime we compare ourselves to others in our service to the Lord, our Ministry, our holiness, our servanthood…we are measuring ourselves by worldly, humanistic standards… not God’s. That’s because our only standard-bearer is Christ. For we cannot represent Christ and conform to His principles when we are jealous and envious of other’s service to God . Our yardstick must be Christ only …otherwise pride and selfish ambition will usurp and decimate our representing Him to the world.
