“Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves” (Philippians 2:3).

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8).

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples” (John 15:8).

“And He said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee” (Ezekiel 2:1).

This is the first of more than 90 times in which the prophet Ezekiel is addressed by God as “Son of man.” This seems quite remarkable, as this title also was Christ’s favorite title, using it 80 times, always applying it to Himself.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5).
