Humble?

Hey, here's a question for you. What does it mean to be humble?

Philippians 2:3-8 (New Living Translation)

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Jesus gave up a lot. He humbled Himself for me and for you. Look, we're not asking you to die on a cross. But to be like Christ, we have to be humble just like Him. So, what's that mean for you?
