"How few see anything attractive in the true humility of Christ! His humility did not consist in a low estimate of His own character and qualifications, but in His humbling Himself to fallen humanity in order to raise them up with Him to a higher life. Worldlings try to exalt themselves to the position of those above them or to become superior to them. But Jesus, the Son of God, humbled Himself to elevate man; and the true follower of Christ will seek to meet men where they are in order to elevate them. 3T 566.3"
"And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
Both passages emphasize the humility of Christ in humbling Himself to elevate humanity. The EGW passage expands on the concept of Christ's humility and its implications for His followers, directly echoing the sentiment in Philippians 2:8.
