1st Corinthians 13:4 Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not; charity vaunts not itself, is not puffed up.
When Paul says that selfless love “Vaunts not itself” he is referring to the tendency of desiring to be seen and admired by persons. Wherever this is the case, the peace and good will Jesus came to give would become evasive. In reality, Jesus would eventually be seen and heard by everyone, but His driving motive was to save and heal not to lift up Himself in pride as is the case with someone else we know too well.
When Jesus said: If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me, it was and is to save us from ourselves, not merely for His own benefit or aggrandizement. In our day currently, we have persons in the public square who only speak of themselves. Everything is made to revolve around self, and everyone else who might not agree with their agenda is viewed as their mortal enemy.
When the tenor of one’s speech is centered around self, it is a manifestation of satanic presence, for this is who he is at his very core. All the blame for what took place in heaven against God’s kingdom, Lucifer charged upon God, Christ, and the holy angels, but he himself was always portrayed as being the victim who suffered wrongfully.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
