How Did Christ Humble Himself?

from Reformed Thinking · host Edison Wu

In traversing the account of Christ's humility, from the Incarnation to the Resurrection and its practical conclusions for believers, we've ventured deep into the focus of the Christian gospel. This adventure clarifies a counterintuitive truth: in the kingdom of God, greatness is found in humility, power in fragility, and life in death. The humility of Christ, culminating in the cross and validated by the resurrection, affords not only the pattern for our redemption but also the blueprint for Christian living. It signals us to a life that depicts the paradoxes of the gospel, where the last are first, and the meek inherit the earth. Furthermore, the call to personify Christ's humility is both a challenge and an invitation. It confronts us to confront and forsake the world's definitions of success and power, inviting us instead to embrace a life outlined by servanthood, vulnerability, and dependence on God. This way of living is not a path to obscurity but to true greatness, as defined by the One who humbled Himself to the point of death and was exalted to the highest place. Lastly, as we ruminate on Christ's humility, we are advised that our campaign as believers is not featured by striving for personal glory but by walking in the footsteps of the One who washed the feet of His disciples. In doing so, we find our lives revolutionized by the weight of the gospel, becoming agents of grace and reconciliation in a broken world. The humility of Christ, therefore, is not just a doctrine to be admired but a reality to be lived, shaping us into His likeness and preparing us for the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
