"There is none greater than God, there is none lower than Christ"

[treasurewords]

Getting ahold of this is a great step towards personal humility.

I'll only elaborate as much as this: "We cannot say x is greater than y or y is less than x because Christ is always lower than those we look down upon and God is always greater than those we look up to."

I just wanted to offer it to the CF because realizing its full implications has changed me tremendously.

 

[Ave Maria]

That statement makes no sense though. How could there be none lower than Christ when Christ is God?

That statement makes no sense though. How could there be none lower than Christ when Christ is God?

He condescended lower than anyone else to save us. God becoming man was a greater act of humility than if I were to become a lizard or a snail. "Lower" is not a bad thing when used in this sense. It refers to humility. Jesus was the most humble of all.
