Among many incredible points to be revealed in this passage, is the counterintuitive truth that humility is actually (in the Kingdom of Heaven) the most certain path to power. Jesus humbled himself, became a servant, and then the Father lifted Him up and gave Him the Name above every other name... We are encouraged to learn from His example and experience a lesser (yet incredibly powerful and real) promotion ourselves. May the application of these truths bring breakthroughs to many of us in our relationships and other life circumstances.
