Joy Of The Journey - Joy In Being Like Jesus LISTEN ON MIXLR @ https://gbcsl.mixlr.com WATCH US ON YOU TUBE LIVE @ http://www.youtube.com/gracechurch-slus/live Phiilippians 2:1-18 Outline 1. what Is Humility Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4) 2 To be Like Jesus A. . Jesus was unconcerned about personal position 5 You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had, 6 [j] who though he existed in the form of God[ did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, (Phil 2:5-6) B. Jesus was a servant first. Philippians 2:7 but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature. John 13:12-17 12 So when Jesus[ae] had washed their feet and put his outer clothing back on, he took his place at the table[af] again and said to them, “Do you understand[ag] what I have done for you? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and do so correctly,[ah] for that is what I am.[ai] 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you too ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example[aj]—you should do just as I have done for you. 16 I tell you the solemn truth,[ak] the slave[al] is not greater than his master, nor is the one who is sent as a messenger[am] greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you understand[an] these things, you will be blessed if you do them C. Jesus obeyed even when it was difficult. Philippians 2:8 He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death —even death on a cross!
Episode Notes
3 Putting It All Together
1. Work hard and let God change your will.
Philippians 2:12-13 12 So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, continue working out your salvation with awe and reverence,[o] 13 for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort—for the sake of his good pleasure—is God.
2. The result will be a true witness for Christ.
Phillipians 2:14-16 4 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blemish though you live in a crooked and perverse society, in which you shine as lights in the world
Conclusion
Phillipians 2:17-18 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you. 18 And in the same way you also should be glad and rejoice together with me.
