In today's quote, George Muller uses the word 'mean' to describle Jesus. 
the word 'mean' in this context is defined as "lowly in status" - up to 
and including George Muller's time, this definition was used in common 
conversation, we don't use it as much in 2012!
A good example of this usage is found in the lyrics of the Christmas 
Hymn "What Child Is this - "Why lies He in such mean estate."

Today's  Quote
It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honoured 
in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.

George Muller
