This week we wrap up our sermon series on 1st Peter by focusing on the Apostle Peter’s teaching about humility. Please consider the following quote from a recent book on C.S. Lewis..
+++
Laughter is a divine gift to the human who is humble. A proud man cannot laugh because he must watch his dignity; he cannot give himself over to the rocking and rolling of his belly. But a poor and happy man laughs heartily because he gives no serious attention to his ego….Only the truly humble belong to this kingdom of divine laughter…Humor and humility should keep good company. Self deprecating humor can be a healthy reminder that we are not the center of the universe, that humility is our proper posture before our fellow humans as well as before almighty God…"I suppose," wrote C.S. Lewis, "we should mind humiliation less if we were but humbler."
