Christ is the ultimate example of true humility.  He humbled himself to being willing to die a criminal's death on the cross to pay for my sin.
 
Philippians 2:3-11

 
 
 
 
Throughout the Bible, we can see that God often chooses to use unlikely heros.  For example, the apostle Paul was one of the greatest preachers and he says in the Bible that he didn’t have excellent speech.  His greatness was in the message that he preached…  He preached Christ.
 
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
