Serving & Obedience

Philippians 2:5-8
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!

Look at verse 6, Jesus came down to earth as a human being. Though Jesus was also God, He came down in the form of a human being. Not some mystical creature or some bright light. But as a human being, so that He can show us the meaning of humility. Jesus was powerful, yet He became a servant. To serve us. This shows that, we are on this earth to serve and NOT to be served. We should be servants for God. We must act in humility like Jesus Christ and serve others. Putting our pride away. Hard, but necessary.

Verse 8, "... he humbled himself and became obedient to death -- even death on a cross!" Jesus obeyed the Father all the way to death. In the same way, we should obey God, even if it means we have to die. Obedience is very crucial and very important in our walk with God. Obedience is something we all need to learn and apply it in our life.

Have a God blessed day! =D
