amen Madeleine, Jesus paid a debt he did not owe, we owe a debt we can not pay.

Humility: To be made humble, marked by meekness or modesty
The cross is just one example of humility where Jesus humbled himself through all the persecutions he faced even unto death that he presented himself no greater than those he died for. God said there is no greater love than a man lay his life down for another. This is what Jesus did was lay his life down so we could have life eternal with him. Followers of Christ should also have this meekness that we would be willing to do such a thing as this if it would bring a lost one to Christ.

John 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down
my life for the sheep.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
Matthew 10:24 the disciple is neither above his master nor the servant above his Lord.
