Relationships with others is focus here - be like Christ
Must understand this to be talking about His divine nature…His preeminance - that fact that He existed before He came...
So, in the flesh, He is still God...
But He chose not to use that fact to His own advantage..
I want to look at some comparison to Adam…There is speculation as to whether Paul was thinking of Adam here, but it is interesting so let’s pull it out
So, Jesus was the very nature of God, yet did not use that to his advantage..
Whereas Adam was fully human, but was made in the image of God
So, Adam was made in the image of God and Jesus existed as God or “in very nature God,”
Then satan comes to Adam with the lie:
So, Satan tempts Adam with becoming “like God”
Where, Jesus, as we continue reading, takes on human nature while “emptying Himself..” or
Adam was tempted with being like God, where Jesus set that aside...
Jesus then became obedient to death to reverse the curse given through the fall of Adam
Note here:
Jesus willingly laid His life down!
No one took His life…He gave it!
Jesus chose to go to the cross for us...
And sometimes we can’t even give people the benefit of the doubt...
Btw, random side trail…kind of...
Adam, as far as we know, would have lived forever, but became disobedient to God by trying to become like Him...
Whereas Jesus became obedient to death, being like a human, so that we could live forever again...
And, because of this...
The position that Adam was trying to achieve in being like God was fully accomplished by Jesus and He is the name above every name...
Every knee will bow....
and every tongue will confess...
Notice it is not just the Christians…or those who believe...
It is every knee will bow...
We get a choice…we will bow either in awe of the majesty and glory of God, or in condemnation and recognition of who the king is...
And, for some of us, we might just realize that it isn’t us!
Let’s wrap this up where we started
So again, this is the mindset that we should have in our relationships with each other....
So, which one will we choose to be like?
Adam - like god having power, authority, status, and knowing everything....aka being right?
Or like
Jesus - humility, obedience, doing what is right, doing what it takes to get the job done for the benefit of others?
Maybe I am stretching it a bit....
Okay, but Paul says this attitude of Jesus is the attitude that we should have in our relationships....
So, we don’t use our status with God to our advantage...
We humble ourselves and serve others...
We lay our lives on the line, if that is what it calls for
