Philippians 2:5-11 NLT
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God, he did not think of equality with
God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
To the glory of God the Father.
The "Hymn of Christ" kind of speaks for itself.
Before we pray, here's that first verse in another translation just to drive the point home:
Philippians 2:5 NIV In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus....
Father, may this mindset of Christ Jesus be in us, no matter where we labor, learn and live. May we make in our minds neither excuse nor exception--for He, though Divine, made none. In Jesus, to whom every knee will bow. Amen.
