2 Things to Learn from Jesus
Preached by Apostle Aje Pelser, Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town
Chapter Two: Christ’s Humility & Meekness
Php 2:1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
Php 2:2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Php 2:4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Php 2:6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
Php 2:7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
Php 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Php 2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
Php 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
Php 2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. Which He did. The two things Jesus said we should learn from Him are meekness and humility, so that we can find rest for our souls:
Mat 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Mat 11:30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Meekness
Meekness hides us from the Lord’s anger. Zeph. 2:3
We restore people with meekness. Gal.6:1
We receive the Word with meekness. 2 Tim. 2:25; Jas. 1:21
We answer in testimony with meekness. 1 Pet. 3:15
Humility
Humility is a sane estimation of oneself according to one’s measure of faith. Rom. 12:3
One can humble oneself by becoming obedient to God’s word. Phil. 2:8
One learns obedience through the things one suffers. Heb. 5:8
