BIBLE VERSES ABOUT HUMILITY

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, I need to be baptized by You and are You coming to me - Matthew 3 : 13 - 14.

The bible says that Jesus came to John. He did not say because He is the Son of God then let Him send for John to come and baptize Him in His own house. Brethren, when we do anything with humility, we will always find things more easier. We should try to always put on that coat of humility. On the other hand, John also displayed that character of humility because the bible says he tried to prevent Him.

But Jesus answered and said to him, permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed Him - Matthew 3 : 15.

Jesus did not say to John, didn't you know that He is the Son of God? But instead of pride, humility. His words was very polite. How many of us today will be in such a position that will act with such humility? With pride, one cannot fulfill his purpose.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross - Philippians 2 : 5 - 8.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land -                        2 Chronicles 7 : 14.
