3. HUMILITY
There are three persons called "humble" in the Bible:
1. Moses: - was a very humble man, more humble than
any man on the face of the earth" (Num.12:3)…
And that's why God chose him to lead his people!.
2. Mary: - The humble servant of the Lord“…and
because of her humility, God made great things for
her, and all generations forever will call her blessed
(Lk.1:48-49).
3. Jesus: - humbled himself being obedient to death,
even death on a cross. That is why God exalted him
and gave him the Name that outshines all names, so
that at the name of Jesus all knees should bend"
(Phi.2:8-10). 3
