It is important to distinguish the self-aggrandisement of sequins glittering under a follow spot from the humility we inherit in Jesus through whom we have been made perfect. There are a number of things God has explained concerning Jesus, so that we will know and cannot plead ignorance. First of all, His mother was a woman.
Galatians 4:4 When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.
At this point the unbeliever will point out how immediately after being told that she was going to have a child, Mary went to see her cousin Elisabeth and stayed there for three months. Elisabeth was surprised to discover she was pregnant and wouldn't you know it by the time she returned home Mary was surprised to. But evidently not as surprised as Joseph. You can read about Mary's holiday in
Luke 1:5-56.
Secondly, Jesus did not have a physical father. Mary was very clear on this, despite Joseph's reservations. It was OK, though. God had sent the Holy Ghost to make Mary pregnant as confirmed to Joseph and recorded for us in
Matthew 1:19-20. How can we inherit perfection through Jesus when He has Holy Ghost parentage but we are conceived in the filth and dirt of sin? God explains the third thing about Jesus this way:
Romans 8:15-18 Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Glorification is only possible for perfect beings. God describes this as an inheritance. We are joint-heirs with Christ and suited for glory because of our relationship to God as our Father. Abba. It is not necessary to gyrate about in undersized hot-pants or don groovy jumpsuits

.although to be honest I'm not sure that pelvis hugging genie trousers tucked inside platform soled boots was ever considered groovy

.and The Bible describes a standard of decorum conspicuously absent from the disco scene.
Is humility only possible for those who have accepted Christ's suffering on our behalf? The Bible explains that we are suffering with Him and that we have been delivered from the bondage of corruption. And we are encouraged by God to remember our perfection, not the Abba of disco and showing off under mirror balls but Abba of the Fatherhood of God. He reminds us to put our perfection into practice. This is the origin of our humility. What dancing Queen can say that?
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
