Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus,
who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
as something to be used for His own advantage.
Instead He emptied Himself
by assuming the form of a slave,
taking on the likeness of men.
And when He had come as a man
in His external form,
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death—
even to death on a cross.
There Was Jesus. The Holy One the Son of God the Son of Man John says that all things were made by Him and for him and without him nothing would be made
There was Jesus
He as God as a part of the trinity Loved you Love me So much that he took Not his position as a advantage but as a gift
A gift of Love towards you towards me
By taking the form of a slave
This is God we are talking about here
This is not small matter as some take it
Hebrews warn against those that find this very thing as nothing more than that of a common thing will be burned up by the wrath of God
This Is God!
He Took On the Form of a Human not just any human a servant a slave an nobody
For you for me
It says that he humbled himself
He did so because He loved you that Much that while His place is in the heavenly places and the earth is His footstool He looked down and saw you before the foundation of the world and Loved you. He loved you so much that he had to Die on your behafe you see our God is a loving God and if He truly is that than he will be just Our God is a Good God and if He is that than he must hate which is not Good
The bibles says the wages of our sin is death
This is the very thing he came to forgive he came to pay that wage in which was so deep that you could not pay he did it out of His love for you
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Look I love my Jesus and I know He loves me
I look to the passage of scripture where the apostle Paul cry's out to God to remove this thorn from Him 3 times and God answered him by saying my grace is sufficient
You see it doesn't matter what pauls thorn was any more than it matters what your thorn is
We all have them some of us more than others
Some physical impairments some mental some spiritual \but ht e fact is that we all have them
And his answer to Paul is His answer to us all My grace is sufficient
SO if God did nothing else exempt love you enough to come to die to pay your wage of sin that is enough
But you know I look back over my Life and I see God there throughout the darkest moments though I thought I was all alone and all I had was His grace there He was
And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
Did you know in one form or fashion this very scripture is repeated over 51 times through out the old and new testament
I love the one that says in
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
Since you were precious in My sight,
You have been honored,
And I have loved you;
Therefore I will give men for you,
And people for your life.
He has always been there
As a young boy I was absolutely reckless
By the age of 5 I had lost the tip of 2 fingers and with the help pd good surgeons you cant tell I had broken 4 bones stepped on a rusty nail didn't tell anyone until a week later when it was so infected i could barley walk almost drowned at a birthday party
looking back now I see Jesus was always there
You know we get so caught up on how bad it is we hardly see how bad it could have been. This is the story of my life
Growing up I was doing all kinds of dumb things breaking in to dads guns shooting them off the deck
You name it I probably did it
I was hurt as a kid with some emotional trama that impacted me for a long time way into my adult years but Jesus was there
He was there you see He had plans for me and though I went through everything i did he was there to get me to the other side that i may not only be stronger because of it all but be able to help others
who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
I used to hate the path that God led me down it felt dark I felt abandoned I felt rejected and unloved
But now I see it so clearly He did it becasue He loved me and I love him for it. I would not be here today if I would not had fell so hard that it would only be God that could bring me back up
Now im not going to tell you since giving my life to God its be so easy now no problems ever happen no that not true
But i have peace in the storm I find happiness in the trial I am in Joy knowing he is in control and all thing are working together for my Good
Look WE haven't had it so easy the baby//...... our finances...... But God always sees us through and it is when we trust in hi in those hardest of times that we can find joy instead of misery
I am so in love with my Jesus
And I know he loves me he has always been there for me. Think about God and him humbling himself for you to come for you because he loved you
Wont you humble yourself before him?
Its time to look back and see he has been there. this whole time and he is with you now pleading with you for a deeper relationship a complete surrender to him as lord and saviour he is waiting wont you today
