Lets talk about Jesus & Humility?

Question

Did anyone here meditate about Jesus and His Humility?

Answer 1

He washed the feet of his disciples. How much more humble could he get?

Answer 2

Jesus is the symbol of humility. His humility is infinite. He came with great humbleness and he died in the same way. All of him is humility. For human to practice humility requires great effort and sacrifice. If we find contentment with God's Love and in everything He has given us, then it might be easier to learn and practice humility.

Answer 3

Humility, like in forgiveness, right? "He who is without sin, cast the first stone!" Humility is admitting that as individual human beings, we are not authorities about any single virtue or complex of proper behavior.
Jesus says while he is dying on the cross, "Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." , Jesus is speaking about the soldiers who are executing him. He says do not judge them, for they have no way to understand the truth of there actions at this moment, so treat them as you would treat me or your mother and father if they made a grievous mistake of judgment and action.
This is the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," The perfection of humility.

Answer 4

Hope these help. I don't know how that is possible to read the NT and still not see Jesus is God. I don't believe you read the NT. It is clear throughout the Holy Bible that He and His Father are One.I will pray for you. I only put a few on here there are many more. Isaiah 9:6 (King James Version) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Matthew 1:23 (King James Version) Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 28:19 (King James Version) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: John 1:1-14 (King James Version) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (King James Version) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 10:30 (King James Version) I and my Father are one. John 14:6 (King James Version) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 1 John 5:7 (King James Version) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Colossians 2:9-10 (New International Version) 9For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority

Answer 5

Jesus said, "blessed are the meek." And he asked if we are without sin if we cast stones. Jesus was all about humility.

Answer 6

The removal of the Scribes from their position as teachers
must have saddened the heart of Jesus. It was called for, it
was forced upon Him by their own arrogance and craving for
personal leadership. Had they really had the divine wisdom
they pretended to have, they would have been the first to
acclaim their Messiah and would have retained the leadership
(or rather become the divine servants) of the people. Their
spiritual influence would have spread far and wide among the
nations and they would have won eternal, and perhaps also
temporal, fame and glory. Often and often God would have
gathered them under the wings of His love and saved them from
destruction; but they would not heed, and their house was made
a desolation. (Matt. 23:37-38.)
This confession of Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living
God, and His acceptance of the title, mark a central and
crucial point in the spiritual education of the Twelve.
At first there was a doubt. 'The disciples remembered the
prophecy that Elijah would come before the Messiah, and
Elijah, as far as they knew, had not yet come: how then could
Jesus be the Christ of prophecy? Jesus explained that Elijah
had indeed come and the Jews had done to him as they listed.
'The disciples knew that He referred to the Baptist and they
began to see what none else saw, how in Jesus the prophecies
of the Old Testament were being fulfilled before their eyes.
Realising now that their Master was none less than the
Messiah, they became conscious of the importance of their own
advancement and authority. As the chosen
 131 
friends of the Messiah and His inner council, they would be
made rulers in Israel as soon as the Messianic kingdom was set
up. It was not long before they were disputing among
themselves who should sit nearest the Throne and take
precedence of the others and wield the greatest power over the
people.
Jesus no doubt foresaw this development and He took pains
quickly to disillusion them, to start them along the second
part of their spiritual education and to discourage the rise
of any such foolish and unworthy ambitions. He warned them in
plain, strong words that a complete surprise awaited them;
that He would not prove to be the kind of Messiah they had
been led to expect: far, far otherwise. They would gain no
praise from men for following Him: quite the contrary. He
foretold that He must go to Jerusalem; and there in the Sacred
City suffer many things at the hands of the very elect of His
own people, the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
set at nought and mocked and crucified. But, He explained, no
cross could kill His spirit, no grave could hold His power,
no darkness dim His light.
This blunt and terrible warning, given designedly so soon
after the declaration of His Messiahship, shocked and
horrified the disciples. No doubt it was meant so to do. They
could not believe it nor comprehend it. He was the Messiah.
No defeat could happen to the Messiah, least of all in
Jerusalem and at the hands of the leaders of the Chosen
People.
Peter again became the apostles' spokesman and gave utterance
to those unspiritual conceptions of Christhood in which all
Jews had been trained and from which the disciples had not yet
shaken loose.
 132 
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it
far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. (Matt.
16:22.)

Jesus instantly, in the sternest language possible,
reprimanded Peter and repudiated his opinion as being of the
essence of evil; and then, proceeding, set forth the law of
self sacrifice, and the certainty that in spite of His
apparent defeat, He would in God's strength triumph over all
opposition; His Cause would suffer eclipse for three days, but
for no longer.

This new strange spiritual conception of the Messianic office
bewildered the disciples. They did not, they would not reject
it; they tried to accept it. But their minds were not flexible
enough to grasp it. It sank into their hearts very, very
slowly. In spite of their Master's vigorous and reiterated
teaching, they could only abandon the familiar idea of the
Messiah with toil and pain; they clung to it, as it were, in
spite of themselves. Even at the end of Jesus' ministry, they
had not been able to understand His meaning nor succeeded in
their efforts to accept His statement as to His sufferings and
His violent death. They still expected He would set up some
form of external kingship in which they would enjoy positions
of glory and power among men; and Jesus' last efforts in their
spiritual education were directed to training them in the
virtue of humility and in the ideal of service.
Before He could bring home to their hearts this difficult and
unwelcome lesson, He was taken from them. The tragic close of
His career brought their spiritual failure to unmistakable
expression. Peter denied His Master thrice; Thomas doubted
Him; Judas betrayed Him; all in the
 133 
hour of His danger forsook Him and fled. The crucifixion cast
them into utter amazement and despair. The whole mental fabric
which their pride and imagination had built up was shattered
in a moment and fallen. Their world was empty. Their beloved
Lord was defeated -- the mocking scribe was right. 'They had
made some terrible mistake . . . For three days the Cause of
Christ lay in their hearts dead and buried. None can tell what
might have happened, had it not been for the intuition and
courage of one who was not of their number -- a woman, Mary
of Magdala. She it was who was the first to understand the
reality of Eternal Life and Christ's Eternal Sonship. She
understood before those to whom they were spoken, the words
of Jesus after His rebuke of Peter.

(George Townshend, The Heart of the Gospel)
