Christ has set us an example of humility (Phil. 2:6). We should be led thereto by a remembrance of our sins (Lam. 3:39), and by the thought that it is the way to honour (Prov. 16:18), and that the greatest promises are made to the humble (Psa 147:6; Isa. 57:15;66:2; 1-Pet 5:5). It is a "great paradox in Christianity that it makes humility the avenue to glory."
