Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who exercises loving-kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things, declarses the Lord. (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
It is intelligent and glorious to choose Jesus Christ “the Way, the Truth and the Life” that leads to God, the Eternal, and to follow the footsteps of the one whom in his humiliation and as our forerunner and model lived among humanity full of grace and truth, kindness and forgiveness, compassion and mercy, honesty and justice. We cannot boast in these virtues.
