How did Jesus teach us to be humble?
Read Philippians 2:3-8 and journal your thoughts
Here Paul begins by talking about how Jesus had the same form/nature as God, and had equality with God and still, being our example, humbled himself to the point of being a servant. Why does Jesus humble himself to be a servant? Seriously, he could have been a king, a ruler, a rich man, but he chooses to become a servant. Why?
The simple truth is that God became a servant because humility is the very nature of God. Jesus is not just making a point, but he is showing us who he is and what God is like. Jesus is showing us what it looks like to live out the Kingdom of God here on earth and as part of that lifestyle we are called to embrace a lifestyle of humility, to live a life of service just like Jesus did.
Today pray that God would show you the areas of your life that you could begin to serve others in.
