Outline

I. THE POWER FOR HUMILITY
“He who was in the form of God took such thought for us, that He made no account of Himself. Into the immeasurable calm of the divine blessedness He permitted this thought to enter, ‘I will die for men!’ And so mighty was His love, so colossal his divine purpose to save, that He thought nothing of His divine majesty, nothing of his unsullied blessedness, nothing of His equality with God, but, absorbed in us – our needs, our misery, our helplessness – … He did not cultivate self, even His divine self. He was not led by His divine impulses out of the word. He was led by His love for others into the world, to forget Himself in the needs of others, to sacrifice self once and for all on the altar of sympathy.” - B.B. Warfield

II. THE SHAPE OF HUMILITY
"We cannot be self-consciously self-forgetful, selfishly unselfish." - B.B. Warfield

III. THE HOPE FOR HUMILITY
"We do the dying. God does the resurrecting." - Paul Miller
