Untitled Sermon (6)

Vs -5

-If only we are to have a servants mindset, we have to fix our eyes solely on the ultimate servant Jesus Christ. We have to grab a hold of the same attitude he had .

This would come by us embracing humility , selflessness, and a willingness to prioritize the needs of others, mirroring Jesus own humble and sacrificial nature.

This is far from being a thought process its a way of thinking that pervade all characteristic's of a Christians life and relationships.

vs-6

Who - being in the form of God: this refers to Jesus pre-existence as God , being equal in every way to the father.

Also looks at Christ’s divine nature or essence , emphasizing that He possesses a fully divine existence which is equal in status of God.

The is beyond a physical form in the human sense but rather a description of his being in terms of His deity.

Did not consider it robbery to be equal with God . In other words He didn't think so much of himself that he had to hold on to the advantage of that status no matter what.

I believe here we see that Jesus voluntarily relinquished His divine right or privileges when He became human,

made Himself of no reputation:

He was willing to empty Himself of His power’s status and persuade the importance for the sake of serving others.

He did voluntarily empty Himself of powers, He didn’t empty Himself of deity. Not at one moment to He ever stop being God. Rather we would take on human flesh and became a servant.

How do we adapt Christ mindset?

listen to Jesus could serve because He never lost track of who He was. He knows His position with the Father. I believe that is actually right for us.

When you know who you are in Christ rendering service will not be an issue its when we as an individual who doesn't know who they are it becomes an issue

Taking the form of a servant - We the in carnation, but also the act of self- humiliation and obedience , emphasizing Jesus’s selfless love and service to all humanity. living a life as a servant ( slave ) of obedience and suffering so that you and I could go free.

Vs-8 So what did Jesus service look like

Obedient to the point of death on a cross.

He would die as the ultimate sacrifice to make a way when there was no other way.

He died the death we ALL DESERVED

This was the ultimate act of service

I believe He could do this willingly Because he always keep the end in view.

Exaltation

Vs-9

therefore: refers back jesus humiliation described in vs 6-8

we see here the ultimate exaltation of Jesus Christ and the universal recognition of His authority and lordship.

we can see a picture here that God, through Christ's humility and obedience has bestowed approval and upon Him a name of supreme honor and power which WILL be acknowledge by all humanity.

Hebrews 12:2–3 “looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.”

vs 10-11

When we look to please others rather then God you my receive some applause for a time and that will be your reward

listen the way exaltation is always going to be through humiliation. if this principle was true for the Son of God, how much more is it true for His followers.

I want to add this be careful of human exaltation. people will have the tendencies to pump u up but they will also stick a pin in your balloon. So If you are looking for greatness, take every advantages or opportunity you can in serve to others to the glory of God.

end with this Jesus could sacrificially serve humanity because he knew that one day that all in heaven, on earth, and under the earth we confess Him as Lord

All of life is to be the supreme acknowledgement of the completed kingdom rule of Jesus Christ, but for now we have to free will to choose, but one day and i believe its sooner then we think all will do it mandatory.
