ALTHOUGH JESUS WAS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AND DYNAMIC MAN ever to walk the earth, he also was the most humble. He encouraged and comforted his followers with these words: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls" (Matt. 11:28, 29). And in another Bible passage, recognizing God as the source of all his unparalleled healing works, Jesus remarked, "I can of mine own self do nothing" (John 5:30).
On another occasion, a wealthy man asked Jesus, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" Before Jesus answered the question, he corrected this respectful greeting and made a profound theological point, "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God" (Mark 10:17, 18).
Jesus so thoroughly lived meekness that when he healed the sick and the sinning, the people glorified God, not Jesus. This Christly attitude of meekness contributed to Jesus' ability to heal even the most incurable conditions and to change people's lives for the better. And today this same humility is required of his followers so that we, too, can be successful healers.
