11 - Walking in Christ

The humiliation (or humility) of Moses in the Old Testament is not unlike the humiliation (or humility) of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, although to a much lesser extent. This topic of humility and gentleness, along with patience and love, is important because it’s the focus of Paul’s words in Ephesians 4:1-3. He is rather direct in telling his readers that to walk with Jesus in a manner that is worthy of one's calling is to walk in Moses-like humility and gentleness (although he doesn’t mention the prophet by name). Coupled with that, the one's Moses-like humility and gentleness ought to be complemented with a Moses-like patience and forbearance, sprinkled with brotherly love.
