(Philippians 2: 9-11)

Humility Majesty - Christmas synonymous with the glamor and beauty. Shopping centers, inn, conference hall, and the church was decorated beautifully. Christmas events designed and displayed in a creative and interesting, even magnificent. However, the events surrounding the birth of Jesus is full of misery. Also humiliation embarrassing.
Christmas is preceded by Maria-risk pregnancies embarrass him. Nearly Maria divorced fiancé, Joseph. Though abortion comes from the Holy Spirit. When born, he was laid in a manger, a place to eat cattle. That sign given by the angel to the shepherds glorify God (Lk. 2:12). In fact, Jesus is the Word, that God Most High (Jn. 1: 1). He volunteered to be born as a servant in a state that is truly limited and poor. Shortly after he was worshiped by the Magi, he should be taken away by their parents to avoid assassination attempts Herod. In fact, is not he the King of kings, the Almighty?
The apostle Paul answers this paradox. Jesus left the glory as God and humbled himself. It all lived Him because of His obedience to God. By His sacrifice that Jesus get the highest glory. Ought simplicity and humility that inspires us welcome Christmas. The glory of Jesus lies in his willingness to equalize itself with us and bear the misery us.-HEM
The glory of Christ lies in his humility. Obedience to the Father is the highest glory.
