"Humiliation"

"I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long." (Psalms 38:6) Sin is that which causes us to be humiliated before God; just as Adam and Eve hid from God in the Garden of Eden, they did so because of the nakedness that they felt. Before they had sinned, they were clothed in the Light of God; pure, and innocent creatures, that shared something in common with the Creator that made them, that being that they had no darkness; nor did they know darkness, because it had not yet been reveled to them, that is, until they had sinned against God. Rather or not that forbidden tree had any power to illuminate someone with knowledge, really does not matter, because it was the act of doing what they were told not to do, that is what stripped away the Light and brought on the darkness. I really think that it is interesting how the flesh ties into all of this; how Adam and Eve realized that they were naked, and then needed to cover up their flesh to help cover up their sinfulness; and yet, Jesus spoke of His flesh being the Bread from heaven that must be eaten in order for us to have life; it was an act of eating that caused the fall of man and brought death, and it is an act of eating that restores our relationship with God and brings life. Interesting enough, it is sin that caused humiliation before God, and it is the humiliation of God that defeated sin... "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." (Philippians 2:5-8)
