God teach us to wait on Him, that He may work in us
all He wrought in His Son, till Christ Jesus may live out His life in us!
For this may God help us!
CHRIST'S HUMILITY OUR SALVATION.
VII.
_Philippians 2: 5-8_.--"_Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus. He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of
the cross_."
All are familiar with this wonderful passage. Paul is speaking about one
of the most simple, practical things in daily life,--humility; and in
connection with that, he gives us a wonderful exhibition of divine truth.
In this chapter we have the eternal Godhead of Jesus--He was in the form of
God, and one with God. We have His incarnation--He came down, and was found
in the likeness of man. We have his death with the atonement--He became
obedient unto death. We have His exaltation--God hath highly exalted Him.
We have the glory of His Kingdom,--that every knee shall bow, and every
tongue confess Him. And in what connection? Is it a theological study?
No.
