Meekness & Humility
Section III, overview: The glory of Jesus Christ, in an applicable sense, is His character: it is who He is. The beholding of and pursuit of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ ought to be the Christian man’s chief enjoyment and focus. It is through this vital act that we are conformed and transformed into His glorious image; through this overriding passion our lives are transformed and the image of Jesus which we reflect becomes clearer. Our lives are given purpose, strength, peace, hope, love, and all other good things when we fixedly place our gaze on our King, Shepherd, Groom, Mediator, and Savior – Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life is the ultimate blueprint for any man’s life. His glorious character far outshines every single person ever to live, and so we will look at His character, His glory, and find therein great and vital instruction for our lives, as well as magnificent encouragement.
A truly godly and Christ-like man will be as His master: meek and humble. He will be of a soft and gentle disposition; he will not be easily provoked to bursts of emotion. He will not boast of his accomplishments, nor view himself highly because of his performances. Instead, like Jesus, he will lower himself to serve; he will not argue, but be yielding; he will not be always contending for himself or his position or his group.
