8. Christ is to be followed in his great humility and meekness, Mat. 11.29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your Souls. Pride overcame the first man; he affected Divinity, and would needs be as God: but behold the Lord Jesus, who is the Eternal God, and he humbled himself and became Man. Humility was the constant attire and ornament of the Man Christ Jesus.

8. Christ is to be followed in his great humility and meekness, Mat. 11.29. Take my yoak upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your Souls. Pride overcame the first man; he affected Divinity, and would needs be as God: but behold the Lord Jesus, who is the Eternal God, and he humbled himself and became Man. Humility was the constant attire and ornament of the Man Christ Jesus.

Though this great Redeemer be the chief of all the ways of God; though more of God is visible in Him than in the whole Creation besides: Though he glorifies his Father more than all the Creatures in Heaven and Earth put together: and though he is exalted far above all Principalities and Powers, and Might and Dominion, no• only in this World, but in that which is to come: Yet our Lord never was in the least High-minded.

Humility is one most remarkable feature in the image of Christ; therefore resemble him in being humble. Be not proud of Habit, Hair, and Ornaments, 1 Pet. 5.5
