And this series returns! For a bit. Two things.
If you can’t humbly accept a rebuke, you will be unable to lovingly deliver one.
If you cannot see your sin as worst than others, you will not be able to genuinely love people.
Main point: thinking much about yourself will destroy relationships. You hate the truth in a rebuke, therefore you cannot be a messenger of truth. You are not grieved over your own sin, therefore your view of God (and love itself) is very low.
From D. Bonhoeffer’s Life Together.
