the HUMBLE GOD
do you want to know how humble our GOD is? yes, i am referring to JESUS CHRIST, but first allow me to discuss some point about GOD in HEAVEN, of who HE is and whatHE is...and how HE give up his being GOD just for us.
1. The Son Superior to Angels (Hebrews 1:1-2)
2. Though we know that Jesus was the Word in Heaven. But when HE came down to earth and lived with us HE humbles himself by honoring his FATHER. (John 14:28)
why do you think Jesus would do this? if HE is the GOD, and the FATHER and HIM are one(John 6:46)...why would HE do these things? simple he wants to be an example for us.
3. so that we may be worthy to face our GOD the FATHER, we must be like Jesus.(Philippians 2:5-6)
we might asked on low did Jesus give up HIS being GOD in HEAVEN. he was even lower compared to the angels in HEAVEN. (Hebrews 2:9) which is contradicting to our point #1. being the CREATOR of all things here on earth and in heaven. he dared to left his crown and glory behind just for us.
now, my question to you. how would you feel if you are a king in your place then suddenly somebody would ask you to step down from your throne and be a beggar. can you dare to do that? i guess not.
GOD did not portray HIS majesty and being a powerful BEING through his enormous powers and strength but by the love in the spirit. ( Colossians 1:8) that through this we may be like GOD, Jesus Christ. (Philippians 2:5-6)
when HE gave up a part of HIS being GOD, HE humbles himself by telling us that HE can no longer DO nothing without the help of GOD the FATHER. (John 5:19) being a powerless individual just like us humans, Jesus Christ was dependent through his FATHER. for the past 30years in his stay in his life being a merely simple person. (Isaiah 53:1-5)
he was tempted and suffered a lot, like what we have experienced in our everyday life. i believe Jesus suffered from hunger too...and all the cruelty in this world. and maybe he was judged through HIS appearance for being a not loving physical appearance. just imagine a beggar on the streets that we didn't bother to care or focus our attention to them. don't you think you can bear those hardships in life? i myself couldn't bear it.
despite of all these things Jesus Christ remain the ONLY perfect person who ever live in this whole planet. that maybe impossible, right? yes, i agree.
do want to know what made HIM perfect for the past 30 years in HIS life?
simple, because of his LOVE for his FATHER that HE dear HIM so much, HE just followed what his FATHER told HIM what to do. (John 8:28) which i believed if we want to be pleasing in the eye of our LOVING FATHER, whether our biological father or our HEAVENLY FATHER, we only have to obey his WILL.( John 14:31) the question is, can we DO this? my answer is YES...if we love a person we cannot afford to hurt them, right?(1 John 4:8)
you might asked why would Jesus Christ will do this? it is because HE wants us to know that the trials, challenges and temptations in life that we experienced right now was the same problem that HE experienced when HE became a man. that he understand our sufferings and HE is always here for us. (Hebrews 2:17-18)
isn't it great? and through this HE gave us a wonderful gift of grace.(James 4:6) and in return we must turn away our earthly desires. (Colossians 3:5)
now you know our humble our GOD is, so is it hard to come to HIM? Jesus Christ already proven to us that whatever happens he will always keep HIS promise.(2 Peter 3:13).
