What does the Bible say about the humility of Jesus?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus humbled himself by taking on the form of a servant and becoming obedient to death on the cross (Philippians 2:6-8).

Philippians 2:6-8 highlights the profound humility of Christ, showing how he, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to grasp, but made himself of no reputation by taking on the form of a servant. This passage reflects on the eternal covenant where Christ voluntarily assumed the role of a servant, emphasizing his condescension. His humility is further demonstrated at the incarnation, where he was made in the likeness of men, and culminates in his obedience unto death, even the death of the cross. This sequence of events emphasizes the depths of Christ's humility and the divine purpose behind it.
