Jesus, knowing\\xa0that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that\\xa0he had come\\xa0from God and\\xa0was going back to God, rose from supper.\\xa0He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel,\\xa0tied it around his waist. Then\\xa0he\\xa0poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples'; feet and to wipe them with the\\xa0towel that was wrapped around him.
John 13:3-5 (ESV)

For I have given you an example,\\xa0that you also should do just as I have done to you.
John\\xa013:15 (ESV)

O\\xa0LORD, my heart is not\\xa0lifted up; my eyes are not\\xa0raised too high; I do not\\xa0occupy myself\\xa0with things\\xa0too great and\\xa0too marvelous for me.\\xa0But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned\\xa0child with its mother; like a weaned\\xa0child is my soul within me.\\xa0O Israel, hope in the\\xa0LORD from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 131:1-3 (ESV)

1. The call of humility

2. The process of humility

Do nothing from\\xa0selfish ambition or\\xa0conceit, but in\\xa0humility count others more significant\\xa0than yourselves. Let each of you\\xa0look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests\\xa0of others.
Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV)

\\u201cIt is a blessed mark of growth out of spiritual infancy when we can forgo the joys which\\xa0once appeared essential, and can find solace in Him who denies them to us.\\u201d
\\u2013 Charles\\xa0Spurgeon

3. The blessing of humility

Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for \\u201cGod opposes the proud\\xa0but gives grace to the humble.\\u201d\\xa0Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he\\xa0may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because\\xa0he cares for you. Be sober-minded;\\xa0be watchful. Your\\xa0adversary the devil\\xa0prowls around\\xa0like a roaring lion,\\xa0seeking someone to devour. Resist him,\\xa0firm in your faith, knowing that\\xa0the same kinds of\\xa0suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And\\xa0after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to\\xa0his\\xa0eternal glory in Christ, will himself\\xa0restore,\\xa0confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
1\\xa0Peter 5:5-10
