The Attitude of Christ (Philippians 2:1-11)
Liz White, 30 April 2017
Part of the The Week The World Changed series, Sunday Evening service
Today is the last Sunday in April, and we have come to the end of our series meeting with the Jesus of Holy Week, as shown in the gospels. This evening we will ponder a while on the attitude of Christ displayed in his life and death, so that we can have the same attitude as Paul calls us to in verse 5 of Philippians 1. We are going to think about how Jesus came, why He came, and the difference this makes to us.

Philippians 2:1–11 (Listen)
2:1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
