Christ in His Humanity

I would say that Christ decided to humble Himself before He was actually incarnated. He existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself... This makes me think that humility is a divine attribute. Besides, man was created in God's image, there is no human virtue that does not come from God's image. Now I understand your frustration as it is hard to understand why God would be intrinsically humble. I think (but not 100% certain) that it may be related to the mistery of Trinity. John 17 shows us that the oneness is the divine attribute. However, oneness is not possible without humility. Therefore, humility should be a divine attribute.
