Isn’t it extraordinary – when <br />you come to think of it – that <br />the One whom atheists deny <br />(for then they would have to acknowledge <br />One greater than themselves…) <br />knew, knows, about humility…? <br /> <br />I mean, how could He? <br /> <br />Suppose, He hadn’t sent <br />such men as Jesus Christ <br />to show us that humility <br />was, is, godly, and indeed, <br />a path to know that One? <br /> <br />Would we then be treating <br />the humble as the self-victimising <br />scum of the earth? And we, assured in being <br />proud and arrogant? <br /> <br />What else could that One <br />know of contraries and opposites, <br />paradox and contradiction, <br />unless He (or She, or It) <br />knows all; knows us <br />better than we know ourselves?<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-thought-from-isaac-of-nineveh/
