Jesus humbled himself. But the depth of that humility is almost beyond comprehension. In this session, John Eldredge explores the breathtaking humility of Jesus—who took on flesh, walked dusty roads, did his laundry, waited in lines, and invited ordinary men into the most extraordinary mission in history. He didn’t just lower himself from heaven to earth; he stooped to wash feet, to share meals with sinners, and to train a band of slow-learning disciples with deep patience.
Through stories of Jesus’ baptism, his invitation to “come and see,” and his long walks between Galilean towns, this session will reframe what humility looks like in God. His power is not diminished by his meekness. It is revealed in it. And his invitation is still extended: Come with me. You have a part in the recreation of the world.
