Thank you so very much for sharing your insights - and thank you for your encouragements, dear brother in Christ!

Humility is not always wrapped in expected wrappings.

I doubt the Pharisees considered Jesus to be humble when He said that He and the Father are One. If they only knew...

I and [my] Father are one.

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. - John 10:30-31

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 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 hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:5-11

To God be the glory, not man, never man!
