To be like Jesus

Our hearts were challenged today as we listened intently to our internet Pastor P.D. Wolfe preaching in Hobe Sound, Florida. He preached from Phillipians 2:5-11* . Please read it, and think about how:
  • Jesus gave, so we must give

  • Jesus came, so we must go

  • Jesus served, so we must serve

I'm sure that there are other examples from Jesus' life that we should emulate, but this is a good list for a start. "Lord, help us this Christmas season to see our individual and group responsibility to follow Your example in these ways."

*Philippians 2:5-11 (New King James Version)

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
