Humility is something that is so foreign to the minds of most Americans. But God calls us to humility, and He gives us a supreme example of it in the Person of Jesus Christ. He was God Himself! He is and always has been King, yet He set aside His Kingship and took the form of human flesh. Unlike earthly rulers who seek to maintain their power at all costs, Jesus left His throne and became like a slave. He came to be obedient to the Law of God, because we are not. He did not sin, but He came to pay the price for our sins. We have fallen into a miry pit, but He came to rescue us and save us.
We can't talk about Jesus coming in the flesh without talking about why He did so. Everyone on earth – either willingly or unwillingly – will confess that He is Lord and bow the knee to Him!
Are you still trying to hold on to your own ways? Or do you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord? Do you do all to bring Him glory? |
