2024 The Year of the Lord
Jan 7, 2024 • Rev. Stephen Euper
Philippians 2:5-11 is a powerful passage that calls on believers to adopt the mindset and attitude of Jesus Christ. It describes Jesus’ humility and willingness to give up His divine privileges, taking on the form of a servant and becoming obedient to the point of death on the cross. As a result of His sacrifice, God exalted Jesus and bestowed upon Him the highest name, so that every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
The passage encourages Christians to follow Jesus’ example of humility, selflessness, and obedience. It highlights the importance of putting the interests of others above our own and being willing to serve, just as Jesus did.
