Humility is not a character trait to develop, it's the natural by-product of being with Jesus.
The Gospel is not about going from bad to good, it's about going from dead to alive!
We go from Malachi to Matthew in one page of our scriptures, but that one piece of paper that separates the Old Testament from the New Testament represents 400 years of history - 400 years where there wasn't a prophet, 400 years where God's voice wasn't heard.
