Written by Andrew Murray (1828-1817), a South African writer, teacher, and pastor.

Jesus’ humility was simply surrender of himself to God. He let the Father do in him whatever he wanted. It didn’t matter what people around him said of him or did to him. It is so that we will have this same spirit that we have been allowed to share in Christ. When Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and follow him, this is what he means…We are to be and do nothing by ourselves so that God may be all. In Jesus we discover what humility means. It is because we don’t understand or seek after it that our own humility is so shallow and feeble.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. [Proverbs 11:2]
