Christ's Humility & My Salvation

For a while now I have been pondering the words of Philippians 2:8, "He humbled Himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross." While walking the earth Jesus Christ had always told death what to do. He raised the dead with a word. He spoke and death obeyed. On the cross Jesus humbled Himself and obeyed what had always obeyed Him. He submitted to that over which He had authority. I owe my salvation - past, present and future - to the humility of Christ. I love Andrew Murray's words: "His humility is our salvation. His salvation is our humility."
