our example

Our pastor on Sunday rearranged these verses from Philippians 2 to show how each of the requirements in verses 3 and 4, are then exampled in Christ Jesus in verses 6 through 8. Verses 6 through 8 are italicized...

"Do nothing our of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!"

And then the following verses....... just because they're so beautiful....

"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus evey knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and evey tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father."
