Our Example, Jesus

Jesus set down some excellent actions and words as to how we should live.  But, He also left us with  some compelling proofs to back up those words:


Reading Philippians 2:5 - 8

How He came down:
He was the form of God
Not equal to God
Not equal to man
He chose to lower himself to the level of man
Christianity is about who Jesus is
Christianity is about your relationship with Jesus
We are told who He is
We are told what our relationship is
We can have peace in knowing

What He gave up:
He became a slave for us
He became human in form
He became the antithesis of what man looks for in a God
Similar in appearance to man, except without sin

How He lived here:
In humility
Obedient even to the point of death
A state execution on a cross
Powerless
A servant to all

Why He came here:
To die i8n the worse way possible!
