We Should Be Humble

Jesus humbled Himself when He came to Earth and lived as a child. He was fully human, while still being fully God. He allowed Himself to be a child. This is yet another indication of the consistency of the Word. We are to be as Christ is, and we are to be humble – as is His character revealed in His earthly life.

Matthew 18

1AT THAT time the disciples came up and asked Jesus, Who then is [really] the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2And He called a little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them,
3And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all].
4Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5And whoever receives and accepts and welcomes one little child like this for My sake and in My name receives and accepts and welcomes Me.Now Jesus is speaking about the character of a child, [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5And whoever receives and accepts and welcomes one little child like this for My sake and in My name receives and accepts and welcomes Me.

Now Jesus is speaking about the character of a child, not himself but since He was a child Himself the character illustration is, I believe, valid.
