DAY 3 ~ Jesus: Our Example
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus...He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death on the cross,” Philippians 2:5-8
Jesus was the incarnation of humility. Apart from humility, redemption never would have occurred. Jesus voluntarily humbled Himself. The incarnation is an eternal testimony of His Heavenly humility and His humble life on earth.
Apart from us experiencing and implementing Jesus’ humility in our lives, our life in God and ministries will be feeble and mostly fruitless. Therefore, we must be conformed to His image and be “transformed by the renewing our our minds,” (Romans 12:2).
Jesus humbled Himself before men and before the Father. He never sought His own honor before men, nor did He seek vindication before men. Jesus was willing to be rejected and misunderstood by men for the sake of redemption. Are we willing to do the same?
Prayer Points:
*Jesus, forgive me for seeking ungodly favor and honor from men. I repent for trusting in the favor of man more than the favor of God.
*I repent for having the fear of man and not the fear of the Lord. Give me the confidence that Your favor, approval, understanding and acceptance is all I need.
