Overview
Christ's humility permeates the Gospel accounts. He was born in a humble stable, submitted to John's baptism despite being sinless, and ultimately humbled Himself to death on the cross. His humility was not weakness but the expression of His perfect obedience and love.
Key Scriptures
"And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn" (Luke 2:7, ESV).
"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" (Philippians 2:5-7, ESV).
"And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, 'My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will'" (Matthew 26:39, ESV).
Application
Cultivate Christ-like humility by surrendering your will to God's purposes and serving others sacrificially.
