Philippians 2:5–8 (ESV) — 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in…

Jesus suffered untold humiliation on our account. We as sinful mortals cannot even begin to understand the emotional, spiritual and physical pain Jesus endured on our behalf. Yet, it is the suffering Savior that provides our redemption. In today's message we have a glimpse into the depth of suffering endured by Christ on our behalf.

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself…

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.

Gregory the Great showed himself a true "servant of the servants of God" in how he, like Paul, took on suffering and humiliation, served the poor personally, and, like Jesus, accepted rejection and hostility for the good of others.

Sacrifice, become a Servant, submit to God's will in everything. God said I am well pleased with Jesus Christ, why because all that he did is the Will of God. He did not do anything for himself, but always for others. All glory to God! Are you here to serve or are you here to be served? Is your attitude like the world's or is it like Christ's? Are you going through the motions of service or are you becoming a servant? The example has been set; the call is clear. All that remains today is your response, your decision, your commitment. Will you be like Jesus today or not?

And if that is the case,…

A. Intro I’d like to begin my sermon today by reading another passage from a Psalm we read recently in our family devotions... [ Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself!

Christ as Prophet 1. How does Christ fulfill the office of prophet, especially in terms of his relationship to Moses and Elijah in the Gospels?
