Emulating Jesus

Philippians 2: 2, 5-6

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

***We are making God happy by having  a Christ-like mind, loving  one another, and being able to agree and work together in the Lord. Our mission and purpose in life should be to carry out God's work as Jesus, his son did. After all we are his children also, we were bought with a price; the blood He shed on cavalry, and He never said a mumbling word..


Philippians 2: 8, 9-11

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, an given him a name which is above every name.

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth:

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

***God became flesh and walked among us as Jesus Christ. As Jesus, he humbled himself  to die on the cross for our sins even though He did not sin. Because of Jesus payment on the cross for our sins, God lifted him up and gave his a mighty name, Jesus. At that name every one will bow of heavenly and earthly things.
Every one will be confessing that Jesus is Lord.

***God mission in our life is much simplier than Jesus and the disciples. They were whipped, thrown in prision pits for days, and maybe executed later.They did as John The Baptist by making the way straighter for us. Our mission is to finish the work they begun, by letting our light shine, lifting Jesus up through His word, and testifying of His goodness; and He will draw all men unto Himself.


Let's continue to imitate Jesus' lifestyle - until we meet again soon.
