Humiliation . . . Exaltation

Day #2 Reading: Philippians 2:1-11

Philippians 2:5-11   Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Here the Apostle Paul reminds us that Jesus went through the depths of humiliation (the author of life allowing the creatures he had made to nail him to a Roman cross, one of the most devious means of torture ever devised by humanity) ... and he did so willingly. But praise God the story of Jesus the Christ does not end there .... but he also experienced the ultimate exaltation when God raised him from the dead and seated him at his side. From the deepest depths to the highest heights ... this is the story of our Savior!
