Forsaking Ourselves For The Sake Of Others
Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Part 2 of a short series about the need and benefits of Community in the church.
6 though Jesus was in the form of God, He 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.
Jesus didn’t view His position, privilege or power as something to be used to secure more benefits for Himself. Instead, He became like a servant and humbled Himself. Why? For the sake of others. For you and I! That’s a servant. That’s what we are called to do and called to be.
