Day 15: Total Humility and/or Authority

Jesus is the King of the universe, the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing, all-encompassing, over-everything God. Yet, He humbled Himself. He allowed Himself to be made smaller, condensed into flesh, and become a servant of all. Why did power allow itself to be abused, misunderstood, and trampled? Why did God not speak when lies and criticisms were flung like mud repeatedly, and accusations led to condemnation of one without sin?

1) Which of these two parts of Jesus am I more comfortable with? Why?

3) Write a short statement to remind yourself of these multi-faceted truths about Jesus.

a) Philippians 2:5-11

b) Isaiah 53:7-9

c) Matthew 11:27

d) John 17:2
