Down to Earth - Week 2 - Have the Same Mindset as Christ
Sermon Description:
The Nativity stands as one of the great reminders that God is with us, but if we take a few moments to consider it, we’ll see another level. Not only that Jesus is “God come near.” But considering HOW FAR that journey was. What coming to earth cost Jesus. What is shows about Jesus. The early church had a hymn or song, which the Apostle Paul quotes in one of the most beautiful, soaring passages in the entire New Testament - Philippians 2. And in that song, Paul goes step by step through all the ways that coming to earth showed Jesus’ incredible humility. Giving up his rights, lowering himself, being a servant, and obeying God, even to the point of death. But Paul doesn’t just show us this so that we can be in awe - he says the point is to model this same kind of life. A life of humility.
