Terry Bradshaw is kind of a legendary quarterback, and he called the ’08 Super Bowl the greatest Super Bowl he’s ever seen. The Giants were a 12-point underdog vs. the 18-0 New England Patriots, and the Giants stunned the sports world. The Las Vegas bookies lost two and a half million dollars on it. Now, the Giants Coach, Tom Coughlin, explained one secret of his under-rated players’ success. He said they took the name off the back of their jerseys and they checked their egos at the door.

What did Jesus say in Matthew 5:5 , “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” And God says in 1 Peter 5:5 , “God sets himself against the proud, but he shows favor to the humble.”

I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and in a world where it’s all about “me”, if you’re the person who’s all about others, you may have more personal influence than anyone else there. Think about it. Are you about you winning, or are you about helping them win? Do you care who gets the credit? Is it about how important you are, or making them feel important?

And if you know Jesus, is it about them thinking that you’re a great person or that you have a great Savior? Wow! Jesus reveals this surprising secret in Luke 9:24 and a secret of a life that matters. He says, “Whoever hangs onto his life will lose it; whoever lays down his life will find it.” You want to be the make the difference person? Check your ego at the door.
