Counsel #3 — Knowing Jesus Brings Humility

Picture: Counsel #3 — Knowing Jesus Brings HumilityCSL 77.1

To possess the spirit of Christ includes cherishing meekness and humility. Look at Jesus as the Servant Leader, touching lepers, hanging out with the outcasts of society, forgiving His enemies, washing His disciples’ feet, and so much more!^{[76]https://desirejesus.com/blog/2018/12/11/jesus-treated-outcasts-like-family}CSL 77.2

“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” Colossians 3:12, 13 NKJVCSL 77.3

“The mind must be trained to dwell upon heavenly things. Humility will come as the result of discerning the loveliness of Jesus Christ. Dwelling upon Christ’s excellencies of character, we shall see the offensive character of sin and will by faith grasp the righteousness of Jesus Christ. We will cultivate the virtues that dwell in Jesus, that we may reflect to others a representation of His character. When we look at the cross of Calvary, we will not exalt self, but keep constantly in view our unworthiness and how much our salvation cost heaven; we will discern Christ’s matchless love.” Ellen White in This Day with God, p. 261CSL 77.4
