Jesus was OBEDIENT

And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Philippians 2 : 8

I've always loved this passage. Jesus was humble and obedient. The King of kings was humble and obedient. The creator of the universe was humble and obedient. Mindblowing! Marvelous! Obedience requires humility. When we are submitting our will to someone else, it takes humility. Humility begets obedience. When we consider others higher than ourselves, it's easier to be obedient to what God wants of us. When we recognize that God's will is better than our will, we need to obey His will. When we consider His will, we can't ask how much we have to obey. Jesus was obedient to death. Can we obey even if it means death?

Heavenly Father, if Jesus can be obedient even when faced with death, help me to be Christlike and be obedient - even in lesser things.
