Jesus Christ, while he was on this earth, did not please himself.
He's constantly doing things for other people.
He didn't aggrandize himself.
And he's the son of God.
He had the right to aggrandize himself, and he didn't.
How much less us, who are but clay and ashes, should we really be out there glorifying ourselves,
just making ourselves online to be like we're the coolest person ever online?
And let me just tell you something.
That's what people do.
Okay?
Don't ever be so foolish as to see something online and feel like someone else's life is
so much better than yours because when people put their life online, they really polish
the apple.
Am I right?
I mean, you look at, you know, if you look at somebody's social media account, that's
not what their life is actually like.
It's what they want their life to be like.
You know?
I mean, how many times have you basically been in a real life situation and then seen
it online and it looked a lot cooler online than actually being there, okay?
There are all kinds of filters going on.
There's all kinds of touching up and Photoshop going on.
There's all kinds of staging and posing and things that are going on.
You know, but is that really something that we need to be a part of as Christians, like
going online and just glorifying ourselves and promoting ourselves and praising ourselves
online?
Absolutely not.
Why?
So we can make other people feel bad about their life that's not as good as ours?
You know, we need to think about other people and be a blessing to other people.
And even Christ didn't please himself, even Christ didn't glorify himself.
So you know, we shouldn't be into self-glorifying either.
