Christ Jesus had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. ~ Philippians 2:6-7 (MSG)
KEY IDEA:
Christ Jesus is a humble king -- very different from how we usually think of the powerful.PRAYER:
Almighty God -- King over all kings -- ruler over all the earth, thank you for coming to live with us. You changed who we are by being here. Now, I am in need of more changing in my life. I'm still hung-up on trying to accumulate as much power as possible. Help me to not be afraid of being powerless in order to help other people. I want to become like Jesus. Amen.
