PHILIPPIANS 2:1-11
Today's text is a hymn sung by the early church.
A hymn that was a rock which they sunk their anchor of faith.
As with any great song this hymn as a back story.
This hymn was written to remind us "that the sin of pride could only be redeemed by the humility of a Savior."
You will never understand how great your pride is until you understand how great God is.
Furthermore, you will never understand how great was Christ humility until you understand how great God is.
Our sin and His sacrifice reveal His greatness.
Let me repeat in a different way; 'the degree to which Jesus was humiliated reflects the depth of our sin."
LOOK AT HIS HEAVENLY ENTHRONEMENT
Our text tells us that the Sovereign God of the universe becomes like one of His subjects.
The Creator condescends into the confinements of a woman's womb.
The infinite God wraps himself in human flesh.
The second Adam born as the first Adam without the seed of man.
Christmas is about God overcoming the first sin and therefore all sin because all sin has its roots in the first sin; pride.
The sin of pride could only be redeemed by the humility of a Savior.
LEARN FROM HIS HUMAN EXISTENCE
Christ obedience saves us from our pride and our obedience to Christ will enable us to live as prideful people pursuing humility.
The second Adam succeeded where the first Adam fell so that His brothers and sisters might live as the second Adam and not the first.
Obedience put to death the temptation of pride.
LISTEN TO HIS HIGH EXALTATION
Jesus exaltation was in exact proportion to His humiliation.
Jesus saves us through His humiliation and we are saved as we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.
As we look at his heavenly enthronement, learn from his human existence, and listen to his high exaltation we will be enabled to pursue a life of humility.
