VerseD: Hebrews 5:5

So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”

Hebrews 5:5, ESV

Jesus Christ became a human and made Himself a servant, and being a servant to the point of death and His ensuing resurrection has proven that He is the very Son of God who understands us and draws us to the Father.

VerseD: 1 Peter 5:6

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you

1 Peter 5:6, ESV

Just as Christ humbled Himself to become a Man and die for us, we, too, should humble ourselves for the sake of the Gospel, to share with others why we are willing to look shameful and foolish for their salvation.

Remember: doormats can help clean feet. They can also be fancy. It is the glory of the Homeowner that we seek.
