2 Chronicles 7:13-14
God Wants us to Humble Ourselves
13 "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Matthew 18:2-4
On Being Humble
2 He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
John 21:17
Jesus Knows All Things
17 "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
John 13:3-8
A Humble Love
3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
7 Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."
8 "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."
Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."
Peter, when He is getting reinstated by Jesus, tells us that Jesus knows all things...The One who knows all things is always humble...He never was or is arrogant...Jesus teaches us to be humble...He tells His disciples how little children play and are innocent and are humble...We too, must humble ourselves like a little child...This is what Jesus wants...After Solomon built the grand new temple, God tells His people if we humble ourselves and pray and seek Him and we repent then He will hear us and He will hear us...God wants us to be humble...
Jesus, who knew all things could have been rich, had a huge house, could have had any form of transportation, that money could buy...But He chose not to be rich, He had no place to live, He rode a donkey into Jerusalem, and chose to be poor...He even washed His disciples feet...And Jesus tells Peter, if He does not wash his feet (Peter's feet) then He can have no part of Him...He teaches Peter about being humble...Jesus teaches us through His example and His teachings that by being humble as He was we may believe in God...
Jesus who knows all things can have a do anything, yet He is always humble...This is how He wants us to be...To me it is so amazing that Jesus knows all things and teaches the way He does and to the Twelve who were a group of Twelve average men, four of who were fishermen...He is always teaching about love, forgiving, and being humble...He humbly died on the cross to save us from our sins...This was His most humble of acts...Humble is an attribute of God...Humble is an attribute of Jesus...The Greatest in the Kingdom is God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit...The Trinity is humble...How humble, yet how great is our Messiah...
