Delve Into Jesus : Questions : Humility

Comments

Jesus' entire life exudes humility, and that was part of what confused the Jews at the time. They were expecting the Messiah to be a king in the traditional sense, but Jesus was nothing like that. He was born in a manger. His parents were poor. He wandered all over Israel with no home and no possessions. He washed his disciples feet. He dined with sinners and tax collectors. There are so many examples that I could go on and on....

But the most important thing to remember is that Jesus is God, and that he humbled himself to come down from Heaven and become one of us in order to save us. For God to become man is the greatest demonstration of humility (and love) I can imagine.

I hope this helps - please let us know if we can help any further.
