Philippians 2:5-7
5 Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God.
7 He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form.
(NLT)
One reason to study the Word of God is to understand the attitude that Jesus had. You study to get to know Christ more. You obey the Word so that you can grow to be more like Christ. Jesus humbled Himself, He is God yet He humbled Himself in a position as a slave appearing in human form. He did not demand His right as God but lowered Himself so that we could come to God, cleansed by His blood as holy and righteous so that we can have fellowship with the Father and be beloved sons and daughters of the living God. Jesus made Himself nothing so that we could become more like our Father. God cared so much for His creation that He was willing to do anything for it. His love for us runs deeper than we can ever imagine. God gave the ultimate sacrifice, the shedding of His own Son's blood for us and He never hesitated once. We should never hesitate to give as God has given to us. We should obey immediately as Jesus obeyed the Father. Jesus is our all in all. Glory to our God and Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. What is God showing you today? Where is Jesus leading you today? Follow Jesus, be an imitator of Jesus and surrender to Him today.
