Lenten Thoughts (Day 37): The greatest becomes the least

Jesus Christ’s state was divine, yet he did not cling to his equality with God but emptied himself to assume the condition of a slave and the form of a man; and he became as men are. - Philippians 2:6-7

If Jesus, who is God Himself, can give Himself for us, why can't we, poor human beings, do the same for Him? Every time we read this, we ought to be reminded that the greatest has made Himself the least. And that should affirm us that it's ok to admit that we are little, because that's what we are.
