After Philippians 2:1-11
It’s not about equal rights
or position; it’s not about
equality with God.
Self is demanding;
set it aside.
We have the example:
the One who stepped down,
who became a servant,
who set self aside,
who assumed the likeness
of man, who humbled
himself, who became
obedient even to death,
The emptying, the descent,
the obedience led
to exaltation, the giving
of the name above
all names.
