I don't really know what made me think of it. But i was thinking about all the pretty Easter dresses and suites and stuff that is on sale at stores right now.
And i was thinking about all the men, and women, and children dressed in their Easter finery and going off to church this Easter Sunday.
And i was thinking about all that glamor, and all that expence some put out to look that way.
Then i thought of who they are dressing up to worship.
They are dressing all up to the tilt to worship the most humblest being there ever was - Jesus.
Something doesn't seem right there does it?
Let's look at what the Bible says about Jesus being humble.
Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high. Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth! Psalm 113: 5-6
.....He was led as a sheep to the slaughter ; and like a lamb dumb before His shearer, so he opened not his mouth:
In His humiliation his judgment was taken away; and who shall declare his generation? For His life was taken from the earth. Acts 8 :32-33
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also exalted him and gave him a name above every name. Philippians 2:8-9
Here is also a few things that we read about Jesus that we can easily see He was a humble man.
Jesus was born in a manger. _ Luke 2:7
Jesus was not good looking. _ Isaiah 52:14, Isaiah 53: 2-3
Jesus said, "Why call ye me good? There is none good except for the Farther. _ Matthew 19:17
Jesus said, " foxes have holes, but the son of man has no place to lay his head. _ Math. 8:20, Luke 9:58.
Now i am not saying that pretty dresses, and handsome suites is wrong, or dressing up in general .
But this Easter picture doesn't look quite right to me. Does it to you?
Well once again sharing my thoughts that God puts on my heart.
Love to hear what you think.
In Him, Mae
