The Meekness of Jesus

Jesus is the meekest human to have ever lived. Here was the God of the Universe, the Creator, walking around in human flesh, yet he did not call attention to himself.

The God of Isaiah 6:1 "It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of His robe filled the Temple. Attending Him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. They were calling out to each other, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!" Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke. "

This Lord sitting on the throne, was the same one, who when He looked down on creation, seeking the sinfulness, did not despise us, but instead became one of us.

John 1:10 He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

Here was God, in the flesh, those that He was walking around He had created, and He went completely undiscerned. And yet we get upset when we aren't given the recognition for some little thing that we have done. We get tweaked when we produce something at work and don't get credit, or even worse, don't get as much credit as we think is due to us. When we write a song and people play the song and don't give us credit. When we craft a sentence and someone plagarizes it. Yet He said "Let their be light", crafting the most profound sentence ever, and when walking the streets of Nazareth, no one saw anything other than a 12 year old Jewish boy.

Lord, change our perspectives. Change my perception of my true significance.
