Mungu amejinyenyekeza Mwenyewe kwa kiwango fulani, kufanya kazi Yake katika watu hawa wachafu na wapotovu, na kukikamilisha kikundi hiki cha watu. Mungu hakupata mwili tu ili kuishi na kula kati ya watu, kuwalisha watu, kutoa wanachohitaji watu. Jambo muhimu zaidi ni kwamba Yeye hufanya kazi Yake kubwa ya wokovu na ushindi kwa watu hawa walio na upotovu usiovumilika. Alikuja katika kiini cha joka kubwa jekundu ili kuwaokoa watu hawa wapotovu mno, ili watu wote waweze kubadilishwa na kufanywa wapya. Tatizo kubwa ambalo Mungu huvumilia siyo tu shida ambayo Mungu mwenye mwili huvumilia, lakini hasa ni kwamba Roho wa Mungu hupitia udhalilishaji uliokithiri—Yeye hujinyenyekeza na kujificha Mwenyewe sana kiasi kwamba Yeye huwa mtu wa kawaida. Mungu alipata mwili na kuchukua mfano wa mwili ili watu waone kwamba Ana maisha ya kawaida ya binadamu, na kwamba ana mahitaji ya kawaida ya binadamu. Hili linatosha kuthibitisha kwamba Mungu amejinyenyekeza Mwenyewe kwa kiwango fulani. Roho wa Mungu hufanyika katika mwili. Roho Wake ni wa juu sana na mkuu, lakini Yeye huchukua mfano wa mwanadamu wa kawaida, wa mwanadamu asiye muhimu ili kufanya kazi ya Roho Wake. Ubora wa tabia, umaizi, hisi, ubinadamu, na maisha ya kila mmoja wenu vinaonyesha kwamba hamfai kweli kupokea kazi ya Mungu ya aina hii. Hakika hamfai kumruhusu Mungu kuvumilia shida kama hiyo kwa ajili yenu. Mungu ni mkubwa sana. Yeye ni mkuu sana, na watu ni duni sana na wa hali ya chini, lakini Yeye bado huwafanyia kazi. Yeye hakupata mwili tu ili kuwaruzuku watu, kuzungumza na watu, Yeye hata huishi pamoja na watu. Mungu ni mnyenyekevu sana, wa hupendeka sana.

God’s Humbleness Is So Lovable

I

God humbles Himself and does His work on the filthy and corrupt man. To make them perfect, God becomes man; He shepherds and attends to them, comes to the great red dragon’s heart to save and to conquer those corrupt, doing the task of changing and making them new. He humbles Himself to be man and endures the hardship it brings. It’s the supreme Spirit’s great humiliation. God, great and lofty; man, mean and lowly. Yet God speaks, provides, lives among them. He is so humble, so lovable.

II

God living in flesh with normal life and needs, proves He’s lowered to a degree. God’s Spirit, high and great, comes as common man to carry out His Spirit’s work. You are unworthy of His work, of such hardships He has suffered. It shows in your qualities, insights and sense. You are unworthy of His work, of such hardships He has suffered. It shows in your humanity and your lives. God, great and lofty; man, mean and lowly. Yet God speaks, provides, lives among them. He is so humble, so lovable.
