Maturity in Christ always looks like humility, and not just any sort of humility. It looks like an absurdly grateful humility. It looks like a person with a profound sense of personal worth, yes. But that sense of worth is expressed in an attitude towards life, God and others that says "this world owes me nothing." Such a person has been freed from all entitlement. In Matthew 18, Jesus talks about this by telling a cautionary story that is, simply put, ridiculous. If we read it casually, we can easily miss the punchline but make no mistake, there is a punchline. It's a truth that heals even as it hurts.
