Recognizing Two Subtle Manifestations of Self — Santosh Poonen — May 19, 2024
Santosh Poonen · May 20, 2024
The central message is the necessity of becoming a true disciple by constantly denying the self, which is contrasted with the subtle manifestations of self-commendation (boasting) and self-condemnation. The speaker draws heavily from Peter's misguided attempt to comfort Jesus before the crucifixion, illustrating that when our ego is hurt, we can be tempted to defend ourselves rather than submitting to God's will. True discipleship requires putting the self completely to death.
