Why is the humility of Jesus important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
The humility of Jesus demonstrates His love and willingness to serve, modeling how Christians should live.
Jesus' humility is critical in understanding His nature and mission. In Philippians 2:5-8, Paul encourages believers to have the same mindset as Christ, who made himself nothing, taking on the very nature of a servant. This humility is ultimately exhibited in His willingness to suffer and die for the sins of humanity, as described in Isaiah 53:3-5. For Christians, this means that we are called to reflect Christ's humble spirit in our lives, serving others, considering others better than ourselves, and embracing a posture of sacrificial love. Jesus' example teaches that true strength is found in humility and serving rather than seeking position or power.
