What Jesus teaches about Humility<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

\nHumility is a timeless attribute that God esteems above all. Embracing humility is synonymous to embracing Christ from the depth of our hearts. This devotional will take you on a journey to the heart of God, revealing His love for the humble and His contempt for those who are proud.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou will learn from the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, the epitome of humility, and the steps you can take to envelop His humility into every aspect of your life.\n<\/p>\n

Bible Verse<\/h2>\n

“For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” – Matthew 23:12<\/p>\n

Meaning<\/h2>\n

\nIn this passage, Jesus is teaching his disciples and us about the paramount importance of humility. The teaching isn\u2019t just about the act of being humble, but the rewards of humbleness- being exalted by God. It cautions against self-exaltation, as it would lead to our downfall.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIn Christ, we see a perfect model of humility. Jesus left His heavenly splendour, submitted His own will in obedience to the Father and served humanity diligently. His life serves as the benchmark for Christian humility.\n<\/p>\n

      Prayer<\/h2>\n

      \nDear Lord, remind me what true humility is. Assist me to be like Jesus, who despite His divinity, lowered Himself for the sake of us. Shield me from haughtiness and self-glory, but let me always lift You high in my life. In the name of Your humble Son Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.\n<\/p>\n
