but is completely clean; and you are clean

Been thinking about humbleness today. Had dinner with a living saint and his humbleness resonated. Jesus preached multiple times throughout the Gospels on first being last and servant to all and so forth, so this is not a new topic. But it is new to me how often this is repeated throughout the Bible and why.

This season alone we are reminded of the appearance to shepherds, lowest of the low. We are reminded of the manger birth. We are reminded of the lineage of scrubs. But what occurred to me was how well all that fit in with the salvation and the redemption. Because if He didn't mind resting His tiny holy head in a dirty stable, He isn't going to mind residing in your filthy heart.
