Important Items Week of May 8, 2022 In the USA people have always given some recognition to Jesus Christ. Depending upon the poll taker and the generation, Jesus is a great moral teacher. This is the most common identification people ascribe to Jesus. Although this is true it is not the central identity that the Bible gives to him. What would Jesus do is certainly an important ethical standard, but who Jesus is and why he came is of eternal significance. In Philippians 2:5-8, Christ’s biblical identity is clear. Incarnation and crucifixion are truths we need to follow Christ. The attitudes of selflessness, submission, and sacrifice are essential for Christ-like living. Humility is the preeminent characteristic of God who allows himself to be a servant on our behalf. It was/is his death on the cross that allows us to be forever related to God due to his sacrifice on our behalf. In Paul’s letters he refers to himself as a servant much more often than he refers to himself as an apostle. Do we treat our fellow Christians as people we need to serve?

Δ Interact Laurelwood Baptist Church How To Think More Like Christ Archived – May 8, 2022 View This Week’s Note View All Past Notes View This Note w/o Blanks Main Scripture Reference(s) Philippians 2:5-8 How To Think More Like Christ May 8, 2022 / Pastor Dennis Beatty / Philippians 2:5-8 To develop the mind of Christ, you develop… Selflessness: Lay aside your rights. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped. Philippians 2:5-6 Submission: Renounce your privileges. But emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant. Philippians 2:7a Accept your limited options. And being made in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:7b Accept your new identity. And being found in appearance as a man, humbled Himself. Philippians 2:8a Sacrifice: Realize your purpose. By becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:8b What? Don’t miss Christ’s pattern. Christ temporarily emptied Himself of supernatural rights. Christ took on the limitations of humanity. Christ was made of human DNA. Christ humbled Himself by becoming obedient to an innocent death. So What? Paul called himself a servant more often than an apostle. Likewise, Christ lived to do God’s will. Do you treat people as fellow-servants or try to boss them? Now What? Where does your pride hinder your humble service? three-two-one.org Save PDF Locally Click to save a copy of the filled-in notes to a PDF file on your device Generate File Click to View PDF Save PDF to Google Drive (Android & PC Only) Click to save a copy of the filled-in notes to a PDF file on your Google Drive account Save File Send to Email Enter your email address below to receive a copy of your filled in notes Send
