This is spot on. We still deal with these same issues today. Human pride takes hold and gets us puffed up in one form or another. We are all on the same team, Jesus’ team. We need to act like it. We are all very imperfect so while we should appreciate our brothers and sisters and their work in the Kingdom alongside us, we shouldn’t being taking pride in them or boasting that we know this person or that person or that I was baptized by this person or that, etc…..but rather boast in Jesus our Lord….give all praise to God from whom all blessings flow! Don’t forget your identity and whose you are.
