(Lesson 3860)(08-13-22) Philippians 2:5-8
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
Todays’ quote exposes the humility of Jesus Christ, God, in the form of a human man, as He came and lived among mankind to endure the same experiences and temptations.
For me, the most important lesson in today’s quote is the fact that an omnipotent God would care so much for humanity (you and me) that He would debase Himself by coming to live among the very creation that has so horribly disobeyed and disappointed Him.
Most folks view the horrible torture and death of Jesus through an emotional lens. They feel pity for His physical pain and suffering moreso than they realize that our amazing omnipotent God so humiliated Himself, on our behalf, so as to allow Himself to be crucified by the hands of His own creation.
To me, there is no greater sacrifice, physical, or otherwise.~
