Scripture lesson: Philippians 2:5-11 Humble and Exalted

 

Time to reflect: Jesus was God become human. It is hard to keep the two aspects of Jesus the Christ together in our heads. This poem/hymn expresses it very well however.

Moving through the day: Pray using alternate lines, a prayer thanking Jesus for becoming human and praising the resurrected “name above every name.”

Scripture:

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
 Who, being in very nature God,
      did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
 but made himself nothing,
      taking the very nature of a servant,
      being made in human likeness.
 And being found in appearance as a man,
      he humbled himself
      and became obedient to death—
         even death on a cross!
 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
      and gave him the name that is above every name,
 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
      in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
      to the glory of God the Father.
