Intro
In our Easter timeline, today is the day that Jesus enters Jerusalem riding a donkey. The crowd is cheering, palm branches are being laid down on the road and people are crying “Hosanna, Hosanna!”
What better way to start your day? And how many of us would struggle going through something like that?
Jesus courage in going to Jerusalem
Humility of Jesus in Life
Humility of Jesus in Life
Jesus took our nature
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.
Jesus was born
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
He was subject to parents
Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
His station in life
“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?
We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
His life in poverty
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
He partook in our infirmities
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
He submitted to ordinances
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
He became a servant
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
He associated with the despised
While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
He refused honors and accolades
“I do not accept glory from human beings,
Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
He rode on a donkey into Jerusalem
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Matthew 21:7-
He washed feet
After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
He was obedient
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.
He submitted to sufferings
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
He died
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Humility in the Eyes of God
Humility in the Eyes of God
The humble are known by God
Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word.
Philippians 2:9
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
The humble enjoy the presence of God
For this is what the high and exalted One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
“I live in a high and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
The humble are lifted up by God
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
The humble are exalted by God
For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
The humble are the greatest in the kingdom
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Colossians 1:
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
