Embracing Obscurity: Becoming Nothing in Light of God’s Everything

by Anonymous

I’ve come to realize embracing obscurity is not about wiping ourselves from existence but rather, voluntarily, becoming nothing in light of everything God is and has promised us.

No, Christ’s obscurity was as purposefully planned—and equally glorifying to God—as His journey to fame and His fall from the public’s favor.

Christ brought the Father glory by becoming nothing (Phil. 2:5-11).

When we accept that our value is not dependent on what we do or accomplish, we are ironically liberated to do much for Christ.

That’s the beauty of finding our significance in Christ: we are freed from our vanity and can instead fulfill God’s purposes for us.

Our truest and greatest significance in life comes from our inherent value in Christ.
