Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: Being Conformed to Jesus in His Humility Date: 3/30/21 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is that Christians must strive to be a reflection of Jesus, which is best exemplified through profound humility. The speaker draws parallels between Jesus's willingness to endure the cross and his ultimate service, noting that his humility is evident in both his divine glory and his earthly ministry. This enduring, humble path is presented as the ultimate model for Christian living, even when facing mockery or opposition.

The superior opportunity of taking up the crossReflecting on Hebrews 11 and 12, the speaker is encouraged to see taking up the cross daily as a greater opportunity than working miracles.

Jesus knowing the Father gave all things into His handsIn John 13, even after the devil puts betrayal into Judas's heart, Jesus chooses to continue loving His own to the end.John 13:1–3

Laying aside garments and putting on a towelJesus getting up from supper mirrors His leaving heavenly privileges in heaven to take on the form of a servant.

Where is Jesus now?God has seated Jesus far above all rule, authority, and power in the heavenly places.Ephesians 1:20–21

The humility of the Lord's patience todayDespite having triumphed over rulers and authorities, Jesus willingly allows mockery, unbelief, and the appearance of evil to continue in His patience.

Why is He waiting?Jesus waits so He can present His church spotless and display His perfect patience toward sinners like Paul.

Blessed if you do themJesus calls His disciples to follow His example by getting up from the table, laying aside rights, and taking the lowest place.

You will understand hereafterInstead of dismissing foot-washing as a simple object lesson for complex theology, we must humbly realize we can spend a lifetime learning simple service.

Becoming one with Him in His natureTrue knowing of God means the word becomes flesh in us, transforming us into His likeness as we walk the path of humility.
