The Apostle Paul wrote in I Corinthians 11:1, "be imitators of me, as I am of Christ."

 His life was a master class in becoming a humble servant, becoming Christ-like, which I humbly submit should be the life’s work of all believers.

 This is a quick summation of Paul’s growth in humility.

 “I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.”    1 Cor 15:9.

 “Although I am less than the least of all the Lord's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ.”  Eph 3:8.

 “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.”  I Tim 1:15

 As you know, Paul wrote 13 of the 27 books in the New Testament, about 48% of the total. If he was this humble, he set a high mark to imitate as he imitated Jesus/Yeshua, who was a perfect Servant.

 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to 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 Philippians 2:6-7 New Living Translation

 Scripture further declares: “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45

 I humbly pray that this will strengthen us in God’s will in our walk of becoming Christ like.
