All-Star Humility 谦卑的明星

[Jesus] made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant.Philippians 2:7
After a game, a college basketball star stayed behind to help workers throw out empty cups and food wrappers. When a fan posted a video of him in action, more than eighty thousand people viewed it. One person commented, “[The young man] is one of the most humble guys you will ever meet in your life.” It would’ve been easier for the basketball player to leave with his teammates and celebrate his role in the team’s victory. Instead, he volunteered for a thankless job.
The ultimate spirit of humility is seen in Jesus, who left His high position in heaven to take the role of a servant on earth (Philippians 2:7). He didn’t have to do it, but He willingly humbled Himself. His ministry on earth included teaching, healing, and loving all people—and dying and rising to save them.
Although Christ’s example can inspire us to sweep a floor, pick up a hammer, or dish up food, it may be most powerful when it finds its way into our attitude toward others. True humility is an inner quality that not only changes our actions but also changes what’s important to us. It motivates us to “value others above [ourselves]” (v. 3).
Author and preacher Andrew Murray said, “Humility is the bloom and the beauty of holiness.” May our lives reflect this beauty as, through the power of His Spirit, we reflect the heart of Christ (vv. 2–5).
How has Jesus’ humility affected you? In what areas are you tempted to be prideful?
Dear Jesus, thank You for humbling Yourself for me. Help me to follow Your example of valuing others’ needs above my own
[耶稣]反倒虚己，取了奴仆的形象。—腓立比书2章7节
一位大学篮球队明星球员在比赛结束后，主动留下来协助工作人员清理场地，扔掉空纸杯和饮料罐，捡拾垃圾。一位球迷将他的这番举动录成一段短片，发布于社群网站，结果有超过八万人观看，还有人留下评论：“这位年轻人应该是我们这辈子见过最谦卑的人之一。”这位球员大可跟队友一起离开，轻松地去庆祝他为球队所赢得的胜利。但是，他却自愿留下来，去做这份吃力不讨好的工作。
从耶稣身上，我们可以看见最极致的谦卑。祂离开天上至高的地位来到世上，取了仆人的角色（腓立比书2章7节）。虽然耶稣并不需要如此，但祂愿意谦卑自己。祂在世上的事工，包括教导、医治以及爱世人，祂甚至受死、复活使世人得救。
虽然基督的榜样可以激发我们去做卑微的工作，如扫地、捡拾垃圾或端上食物，但祂的榜样最大的影响力，是改变我们对别人的态度。真正的谦卑是一种内在的特质，不仅改变我们的行为，更改变我们所看重的，也促使我们“看别人比自己强”（3节）。
作家暨牧师慕安德烈（Andrew Murray）说过：“谦卑乃圣洁所绽放的美善。”当我们倚靠圣灵，反映出基督的心时，愿我们的生命也能反映出这种谦卑之美（2-5节）。作者： 史珍妮
耶稣的谦卑如何影响了你？
你在哪些方面还需要学习谦卑？
心存谦卑，并不是贬低自己，而是看別人比自己強。
亲爱的耶稣，谢谢祢为了我而谦卑自己。
帮助我能像祢一样，看重他人的需求更胜于自己
