Attitudes Philippians 2: 1–11
My Attitude Your Attitude My BehaviourYour Behaviour
Jesus’s Attitude Although Divine, He : Let go of all that meant, Emptied Himself, Came as a baby with all that implied, Became a slave (doulos) by coming in the form of a man, Humbled Himself to death—an accursed death.
The Result of Jesus’ Attitude God resurrected & highly exalted him, Name above all names Every knee shall bow to Him He is LORD (Kyrios) God gets glory
Paul’s Pleas Encouragement Consolation of love (agape) Fellowship of the Spirit Affection Compassion Same mind Maintaining the same love United in spirit Intent on one purpose
The Result Complete JOY! Relationships are strengthened We become ONE body–1 Cor. 10 v 17 See how these Christians love one another! (John 13: 35 & Tertullian quoting a pagan source) Don’t be a Custard Christian —upset over trifles!
