Jesus Set the Pattern of Humility - JESUS WILL "RIDE IN THE CAUSE OF TRUTH AND HUMILITY

God's Son will continue to show humility in the future.  One of the psalms foretells how Jesus, as King in heaven, will act against God's enemies.  It says: "In your splendor go on to success; ride in the cause of truth and humility and righteousness." (Psalm 45:4) At Armageddon, Jesus Christ will fight to defend those who are humble and righteous and who love truth.  And what will happen at the end of the thousand years of Christ's reign when he  "has brought to nothing all government  and all authority and power"?  Will he show humility? Yes.  The Bible tells us that he will give the Kingdom back to his God and Father. - Read  1 CORINTHIANS 15:24-28.

What about us? Will we imitate Jesus' example and show humility? At Armageddon, the King Jesus Christ wills save only those who are humble and righteous.  So we need to be humble if we want to survive.  Also, if we show humility, there will be many benefit  for us and for others, just as there were for Jesus. 

What can  help us to imitate Jesus' example of humility?  How can we do our best to be humble even when that is not easy to do? We will answer these questions in the next article.

SOME EXPRESSIONS EXPLAINED

* Humility: We show humility by not thinking that we are more important than others and, as a result, by not acting as if we were better than others

* Michael: The name of Jesus as an angel in heaven, both before  and after his life on earth

* Modesty: A person who show modesty knows the limits of his authority and does not do anything he does not have the right  to do.

Note: Well, that is not the definition I grew up knowing. Why do people think they can change any word, saying or definition of something that pleases them. That is how I see it.
