"Jesus and the Disinherited: Jesus- An Interpretation"

Humility. It is one the hardest things to learn, but it is also key to being Christian. Jesus is the prime example of humility. He did not serve people out of a sense of pride, security in his power, or so as to be in control, as I often do. He cared for the oppressed and poor out of a sense of oneness with them. This seems to only be attained through his submersion into his Jewish community and his true, selfless love for others given to him by God and strengthened through his own personal experiences of pain and oppression. Howard Thurman, the author of "Jesus and the Disinherited", seem to reflect on the fact that true love, sacrifice, humility, and successful resistance against oppression can only be learned and acted out by communing with a diverse community. I am intrigued by this idea and wonder how can someone learn humility and sacrificial love in social isolation?
