What are some Biblical examples of humility?

Answered in 1 source

Biblical examples of humility include Jesus, the publican in Luke 18, and John the Baptist (Luke 18:10-14).

The Scriptures present numerous examples of humility that underscore its value in the Christian life. Jesus Himself exemplified ultimate humility by leaving the glory of heaven to serve humanity, taking the form of a servant and humbling Himself to the point of death (Philippians 2:5-8). In Luke 18, we find a contrasting portrayal of two individuals praying: a proud Pharisee who boasts of his righteousness and a publican who humbly pleads for mercy, showing that it is the latter who goes home justified (Luke 18:10-14). Additionally, John the Baptist exemplified humility, declaring that he must decrease while Christ must increase, demonstrating selflessness and a focus on God's greater purpose (John 3:30). These examples illustrate that humility is essential for rightly relating to God and others.
