The Humble King (Week 2)

Philippians 2:5-8

By Michael Lockstampfor, December 10, 2023

Jesus is God (Philippians 2:5-6)

God became human (Philippians 2:7-8)

  • “Incarnation” with the lowly
  • Authority /= authoritarian (Mark 10:35-45)
  • Footwashing – demonstrated and declared (John 13:1-17; John 13:31-35)

We are able to humbly serve those Jesus humbly served. (Philippians 2:1-5)

  • Unity encouraged (2:1-2)
  • Humility commanded (2:3-4)

Jesus gives us the mind to serve those He humbly served.

  • Who do we choose to be present with?
  • What do our “loves” tell us about the King we bow to?
  • How are we reshaping our thoughts to Jesus’ mind?
