"To Enter Where I Was Born, You Must Humble Yourself"

 
"And all the kings of the earth shall worship him, 
all the nations shall serve him." (Psalm 72:11) 
 
By Demetrios Panagopoulos, Preacher

You don't need intelligence in Christian matters. You need simplicity and humility...

In Bethlehem there is a door, one meter high. You have to stoop down to enter.

It's as if Christ is telling you:

"To enter here, in the place where I was born, so that I can be born in you, you must humble yourself. If you don't humble yourself and instead consider yourself to be someone, you won't fit in here. You will be humbled."
