This week’s devotionals are from the “Person of Jesus” series in Mark Moore’s Quest 52. For this series, we are looking to the person of Jesus trying to discover where he came from and what drove him to his destiny of death. This first series is about the BEGINNING of Jesus's life: his birth and the striking events surrounding his arrival. Slow down, read the text, and then let the text read you.

Meditate on these passages: 

“For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
MATTHEW 23:12

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
JAMES 4:10

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the prouD but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 PETER 5:5-6

How have you seen this principle of reversal play out in your life?
