Philippians 2:5-8

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself

by becoming obedient to death—

even death on a cross!

(v5-8, NIV)

This was one of the verses read at service this morning. I was once again reminded of this awesome passage about Jesus and his humble servant attitude. The sermon was about Jesus, the humble king. I can't even grasp what it was like for Jesus to humble himself to come down to earth as a human. I mean, you can try to compare it to a human becoming an ant, but that doesn't even come close to describe what Jesus did. On top of that, Jesus was doing this according to instruction given to him. It's not like Jesus was simply doing what he wanted on his own accord, but rather, following instruction given to him by the Father. Like, I'm ashamed to say this, but I sometimes have trouble listening to my parents. It's quite a shame being disobedient to my parents, especially when the disobedience is over the smallest things. Yet Jesus shows us his obedience and his humility in extreme measures. I wish I could have his obedience and have his humility. I must simply look to him and hope for his help and strength to obey like him and be humble like him.
