The Bible teaches that God humbles those who exalt themselves. Jesus received the humbling that our constant and unremitting self-exaltation merits. What does it deserve? Crucifixion! In other words, our self-exaltation is so heinous in God’s sight that it must be crucified. That is the humbling our pride deserves!
