In the face of the humility of Christ, I am smitten by my pride. I did not see nor own it as pride until I saw the humility of God in Christ. The King was born in a stable. He lived as a refugee in Egypt. He grew up in the humble town of Nazareth. He humbled Himself, became a servant and died as a sacrificial lamb. He was royalty riding a donkey. He was the Son of God but referred to Himself as the Son of Man. I have all these things I want for myself, and He only wanted to do the will of His Father. Lord, have mercy!
