Obedient Attitude (Humility)

 If we are to have the same mind and attitude as Christ Jesus does, we need to imitate Him.  We should imitate His obedience.

God's Word tells us Jesus was like this ...

"And being found in human form He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:8 ESV).

Jesus went all out in humility and obedience to His Father's will.  He obeyed even if it meant dying on a cross for the sins of all humankind.  He earned salvation for you and me...that was His mission on earth.

Jesus was in human form.  We are human beings, so it is not impossible for us to have humility and to be obedient to the Lord.

The great King of kings and Lord of lords showed His humility in being obedient to His Father.  Attaining an attitude of humble obedience to the Lord should be what we followers of Jesus Christ should do.

It may not entail dying on a cross, but we may have to sacrifice our pride, time, energy, or own opinions to what the Lord's will and ways guide us to.  As we read the word and become obedient to it, we should become more humble too.

By God's grace and mercy we can do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our Lord.  This is what the Lord requires of us and it is good (see Micah 6:8 NKJV).
