    Jesus did not confront his disciples when they were arguing because he wanted them to reflect on their pride and desire for status. While Christians should avoid sacrificing principles of truth, they should also avoid an attitude of self-importance that judges others. Remembering Jesus' humility could have prevented the disciples' despair during his trial. The disciples' contention was apparent over who was the greatest but really stemmed from failing to comprehend Jesus' teachings about humility. The most efficient laborer for God is one who is motivated by love rather than status. Christians should value every soul and not let any cherished sin or failure to focus on Jesus undermine their faith. The Spirit of Christ will lead believers to sympathize with and help restore any erring brothers
