Obedience to the Point of Death

Follow Christ's Example ~Lori Sealy

Have this attitude in yourselves which is in Christ Jesus,who, though God, emptied Himself, became a servant became a man.He humbled Himself in obedience, obedience to the point of death.Willingly dying on the cross. Redeeming what was lost.

Let us not live selfishly but clothe ourselves in humility.Serving God & others first, follow Christ’s example.Children make my joy complete by living in unity.Of the same mind bound by love, follow Christ’s example.

Oh beloved do obey our Father’s righteous way.The Holy Spirit enables you to follow Christ’s example.Do not grumble or complain. Live as children without blame.Holding forth the Word of Truth, follow Christ’s example.

Philippians 2:1-11
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

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.

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 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, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
