At first, the concept of honoring ourselves may seem a bit strange. Isn’t it arrogant and prideful to see yourself as weighty? It is true that God doesn’t want us to be prideful and think of ourselves more highly than we should. However, it is just as prideful to think of ourselves less than what God thinks of us. When we have a low view of ourselves, it becomes difficult to honor others. Many people disrespectful and disregard others because they still wrestle with their own self-esteem and sense of identity.

Honoring the Body of Christ
March 20, 2016 • Robert Theodore
As we approach the Easter season, we are reminded of the Jesus redemptive work for us. Jesus not only died for us individually. Jesus died for the body of Christ, of which we are a part. We honor one another by serving one another. Though we may do good to others, Scripture commands that we give greater preference to those of the household of faith.
Honoring Outsiders

Some Christians use unbelievers’ lack of faith to justify dishonoring them. The way we treat unbelievers can impact how they view God. We must be a church that honors those on the outside. As we approach Easter, we must remember a dying world for whom Jesus died.
