Jesus Humbled Himself

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross - Philippians 2:8.

              Jesus humbled Himself and came from the heaven to earth in the likeness of men. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men - Philippians 2:5-7. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone - Hebrews 2:9.

            God highly exalted Jesus as He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father - Philippians 2:9-11.

               Let us humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord and be obedient to Him. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord - James 4:10. He who humbles himself will be exalted - Luke 14:11. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls - Matthew 11:29. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love - Ephesians 4:2.                                                                                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to humble ourselves in all we do. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
