Elder Ephraim of Vatopedi in this video discusses the defining characteristic of Christ, being humility. He emphasizes that humility is not an inferiority complex, as society tends to believe it is, but rather, according to the Orthodox Tradition, it is a means of growing closer to God.

Father, I have so much pride and so little humility.
Thank you for uploading this, how relevant it is at any time… God have mercy on us.
This is another sermon that I would love to have the transcription of, so that I can send it to my approximately 68 prisoners in the Texas prison system. We send out a newsletter every two weeks. I'm always looking for things like this. Of your charity, would you be willing to send me the words in text form? Of course I always reference the parent URL. seraphim@orthodox.net.
