@tenacious and anyone else who wouldn;t mine a little scripture reading on a Sunday from the good book. Jesus of Nazareth ((Christ is not his last name btw)) was humble unlike anyone in history. This is one of many favs I have in the bible. I will break it down for you bro and take it for what it is. I'm not inviting you to church and I will never ask you to give 10% and above. I'm just inviting you to learn a little from me if you want to. If you don;t like, you can tell me to stop anytime.
Philippians 2 New International Version (NIV) ((easy to read version. Paul is writing only to the folks at the church he helped start in Philipi))
Imitating Christ’s Humility ((pretty much impossible to do but one tries again each day after they failed the day before))
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather,
in humility value others above yourselves, 4
not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. ((This is the true acid test right here that all Christians are measured. No way around this one at all imo))
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: ((follow closely down below. This is the key to understanding the true Christ. Jesus became the Christ after he died and rose from the dead, according to the bible and eye witnesses)).
6 Who, being in
very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he
made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[
b] of a
servant,
being
made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as
a man,
he
humbled himself
by becoming
obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore
God exalted him to the
highest place
and
gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and
every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
As you can read, pretty darn amazing if the story is true. If it's true and you find out after you die, I'm sure one would bow in respect to Jesus. This is where people like to jump in and add their fear to the after life and talk about hell and judgement and I see something completely different in this true love story. I hope this helps out.
