Emptied Himself



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 human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:511

For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me." - Romans 15:3

"I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. - John 5:30

35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.
40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." - John 6:35-40

In obedience to God the Father, Jesus offered himself as a living sacrifice to give man eternal life.
After His death on the cross, God raised Him from the dead!!!

Do you know what this gift means?
Do you believe in the power of the resurrection?
Without it there is no redemption!!!
Without repentance there is no forgiveness!!
He demands you bow before Him!!
He is King of Kings!!
He is Lord of Lords!!
You have forgiveness which only comes through His holy blood!!!
God demands an answer!!!
God is calling you!!

31 Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." - John 12:31-32

He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. - 1 John 2:2

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. - 1 Timothy 2:5-6
