Yet Christ came in great humility. When he was here, he pleased not himself, but "humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." To his followers he says, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." To all who reveal his meekness and lowliness, living lives of self-denial and self-sacrifice, submitting themselves in humble obedience to his will, he will manifest the glory of God.

Dog kom Kristus i stor ydmyghed. Da han var hernede, behagede han ikke sig selv, men han "ydmygede sig selv og blev lydig til døden, ja, døden på et kors". Han siger til sine efterfølgere: "Tag dette åg på jer og lær af mig, thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af hjertet; så skal I finde hvile for jeres sjæle." Matt 11,29 For alle som åbenbarer hans sagtmodighed og ydmyghed, selvfornægtelsens og selvopofrelsens levende stene, underlægger de sig selv i ydmyg lydighed mod hans vilje, vil han vise Guds herlighed.
