3Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
5You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6Though he was God, a
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7Instead, he gave up his divine privileges b;
he took the humble position of a slave c
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form, d
8he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Be humble and have the same attitude as Christ. Christian this is what you must strive for. To be as Jesus was.
Though He was God, He gave up His divine privileges and was born as a human being to become sin for us and die for us to give us eternal life.
Therefore God the Father elevated Him above all! "10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,".
Yes, all means all! Even the Jesus haters, the unbelievers, the deplorable's, everyone!
Every means every!
Are you humbling yourself in obedience to God?
Blessings, David
