KINGSHIP
It is rare to find a king willingly giving up his power and living as an ordinary man, away from all pomp and splendor. But that is what Jesus did
Let us read Philippians 2:6-11:
THOUGH HE WAS IN THE FORM OF GOD,
HE DID NOT CLAIM
THEIR DIVINE RIGHTS:
NO, HE GAVE UP
BOTH POWER AND GLORY
AND TAKEN TO HIMSELF THE FORM OF A SERVANT.
HE BECAME A MAN
AMONG MEN.
It is incomprehensible how great a renunciation it was. Thus Jesus went about as an ordinary man, acquainted with sickness, poverty and met people with their needs. He preached about the kingdom of God and healed the sick.
But it doesn't stop there, because it continues
YES, HE BENT SO DEEP,
TO OBEDIENTLY DIE THE DEATH OF A CRIMINAL ON A CROSS.
For whom will you die? Jesus did it voluntarily, so that we could have life through Him. He erased everything that separated us from the love of God.
Therefore GOD HAS EXALTED HIM,
TO THE HEAVENLY GLORY
AND GIVEN HIM A NAME
WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME,
SO THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS ​​EVERY KNEE SHOULD BEND,
IN HEAVEN
AND ON EARTH
AND UNDER THE EARTH
AND EVERY MOUTH SHOULD CONFESS,
TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER
JESUS ​​CHRIST IS LORD!
If we were to briefly describe that event, it might sound like this:
JESUS ​​BECAME WHAT WE ARE,
SO THAT WE SHOULD
BECOME WHAT HE IS
Through Christ we have become partakers of God's glory. Let us accept it so that we can serve him with joy.
