One of the themes that strongly comes out from the Crucifixion of Christ, is humility. The fact that God Himself came down to take the form of man, and be tortures and killed by man, just to save him, show s the true meaning of humility. In our societal setting, the greats are those who espouse power and lord it over people. However in the law of God's kingdom, the greats are those who choose to serve first, and see to the needs of others.
Over the years, many people have used this heavenly law to campaign, whiles referring to themselves as servants of the people; but are they? Today the Lord is calling us to understand what true greatness is. He draws our minds ever so increasingly to focus on His crucifix, especially in as we prepare for Easter. We need to draw the lesson of humility from the Lord as we see the God of heaven and earth outstretched on a piece of wood. He came not " to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28 NIV.)
