In Philippians 2:5-11 Paul attempts to describe Jesus. Give it a try yourself and you will see that it’s is a daunting task. As Paul takes this on he lands on a virtue - humility. Jesus is many things, and among the characteristics of what he is Paul tells us Jesus is…..humble. It’s astonishing. Jesus is all powerful, all knowing, and yet these attributes of his are used to serve us all. Jesus is the greatest of servants, and invites us to be the same.

Extra Mile: Over the centuries the Church has asked the question - What is the source of sin? As the centuries have unfolded the most common answer is…Pride. As much as we do not like to admit it, we are often the source of our own undoing. The Apostle Paul, the Prophets, and many others knew this and therefore consistently advise believers to be humble. Humility is among the lead virtues for the believer, and much of the Scripture attempts to tell us this is so.
