Catch Hold of Christ’s Humility — What does Jesus say himself, after all to the weak and infirm so that they may recover that kind of sight and to some extent at least attain to or brush against the Word through which all things were made?
“Come to me, all you who toil and are over-burdened, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, because I am meek and humble of heart.”
What is the Master, the Son of God, the Wisdom of God through whom all things were made addressing to us?
He is calling the human race and saying, “Come to me all you toil, and learn of me.”
You were thinking, no doubt, that the Wisdom of God was going to say “Leanr how I made the heavens and the stars, also since in me all things, even before they were made, had been numbered how in virtue of their unchangeable ideas even the hairs of your head have been numbered.” Is that the sort of thing you were thinking He would say? No but first this: “that I am meek and humble of heart.”
This is hat you have got to get hold of, brothers and sisters, and it’s certainly little enough. We are striving for great things; let us lay hold of little things, and we shall be great. Do you wish to lay hold of the loftiness of God? First catch hold of God’s lowliness. Deign to be lowly and humble on the same account, yours, not His own. So catch hold of Christ’s humility, learn to be humble, don’t be proud.
