The Humility of Jesus

This morning, as I was in the LRT on my way to church, I saw someone has this tattoo of a dragon on her back. This gave me a wonderful revelation. As we know, when Father Abraham looked down and saw Satan, he was just a tiny worm. In this natural world, he magnified himself so big as a scary shadow into a high and mighty snake that most culture highly regards this snake. But in Psalm 23:4 said that: 'Even though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comforts me.'

This leads me to think of our beloved Lord Jesus. He is the Holy One that devils was so frightened when they saw Him on earth and asked Him what He wanted with them. Jesus is the Holy One that the whole world, those who don't know Him, is afraid. They are afraid that if they do not do good, they would go to hell and not to heaven. He is the Almighty and Powerful God, yet, He humbled Himself to become the Perfect Man, to be the Saviour of the whole world!

What an irony, the one who don't have anything, formed a shadow so big to let people worship and at the same time formed the unknown spiritual story to scare the daylight out of man. While the One, who really have the Power of the Whole Universe, came down from Heaven, born as a man and walked the Righteous path demanded by the Heavenly Law for man. And because man who cannot be the perfect man, have to die, as the 10 commandments said, when man failed 1 law, he failed them all and the penalty is death.

Jesus came from heaven and walked a Righteous Path and achieved the blessing of Deuteronomy 28 for man while He was stripes and burnt for the curses of Deuteronomy 28, that supposed to fall on man. He went to die for man at the Cross and redeemed all who believes Him, of all forms of curses and destruction. Glory Glory!

This also leads me to think of man natural self on earth. Many of us, without any pretentious act, will automatically want to prove ourselves and show our self worth to others, commonly known as status and power. But, do we really have it? No, all these are just chasing the wind as King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes. He is the richest man and the most powerful man and still is in present world. Yet, for all he had, he was not happy and found emptiness in self. He said in Ecclesiastes 4:4 'And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man's envy of his neighbour. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.'

It is when man realise that no matter how rich and how poor he is, he is just a breath created by the Almighty God, who loves him so much that sent his beloved Son, Lord Jesus Christ, to come down as man and to redeem him fully by His Grace and Mercy and called him the Son of God, washed clean by the Blood of Jesus, as white as snow, that he could come to rest in the Shalom Peace of God that he is highly blessed. Glory Glory!

In this season of Joy and Christmas, let us not forget who He is. The real wonderful and beloved Jesus, who bring us to the Love of Abba Father. For us to enjoy His Blessings and His Great Love. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!
