Most of us know it’s socially inappropriate to brag about yourself. "Can you believe the arrogance?" one person might whisper to a friend upon hearing a lecturer or a politician glowingly tell of their accomplishments. Keeping from verbally praising yourself is a trait rooted in this verse, "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Matthew 23:12). Jesus knows the root of bragging is a desire to be viewed as superior.
