‘The Humble Christ.’
Philippians 2:6-9.
a) Philippians 2:6. Christ was and is God yet He did not think that equality with God was something to cling to.
b) Philippians 2:7. Christ:-
1-Gave up His Divine privileges.
2-Took the humble position of a slave.
3-Was born as a human being and appeared in human form.
c) Philippians 2:8. Christ humbled Himself in obedience to death and died a criminal’s death on the Cross.
d) Philippians 2:9. Therefore God has elevated Christ to the place of highest Honour.
e) Philippians 2:9. God gave Him the Name above all other Names.
(Through this QT I can clearly see The Humble Christ)

‘The Spirit Of The Lord Upon Jesus Christ.’
Isaiah 11:1-2.
a) Jesus Christ is a Branch that bears fruit from the old root.
b) The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Jesus Christ.
c) He is the Spirit of:-
1-Wisdom.
2-Understanding.
3-Counsel.
4-Might.
5-Knowledge.
6-The Fear of the Lord.
(This Second one helps me to fully understand The Spirit Of The Lord Upon Jesus Christ and how He exclaimed in Luke’s Gospel that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him)

Chris.
The humble Christ took the humble position of a slave. This is an amazing Truth and a great lesson for all of us who serve Him. If we serve Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master then we will surely be serving Him with humble hearts. Pride is the pathway to downfall for all who serve Jesus Christ. We are to hate pride and avoid pride if we are to serve Jesus Christ effectively and sincerely.
