1. Philippians 2:1-11 “Therefore if there is any consol- ation 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…”

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…”
