Text: Isaiah 58:1–12; Philippians 2:1–8; John 13:3–5, 12–17
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” Phil 2:5–8
I. God in Christ expresses himself as the perfect, humble Suffering Servant.
II. Our expression of God-given faith, then, is also being a humble, loving servant.
III. That means using all with which the Lord has blessed us in service to others.
Rev. Rexford E. Umbenhaur III, pastor, Our Savior Lutheran Church, Los Angeles, California
