Jesus Teaching the Proud What Humility Really Is

In this sermon from Matthew 20:17–34, we see how Jesus responds to pride—not with harshness, but with humility, patience, and mercy. While His disciples argue over greatness, Jesus reveals a better way: true greatness is found in serving others and following Him to the cross. From proud ambition to blind desperation, this passage shows that Christ is both the humble King and the merciful Savior who opens blind eyes and transforms proud hearts.
