CHOOSE HUMILITY

Philippians 2:9-11

Have the Attitude of Christ

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.


An old preacher once told me that when you see ‘therefore’ in scripture, you take a look back to find what the ‘therefore’ is there for. This therefore points us to the ‘I’m Third’, Christ-like attitude we have discussed for the past two days. The ‘therefore’ says because Christ was humble in His attitude …

Whether we or the world want to admit it or not, the highest place has been given to Christ. The greatest name is the name of Jesus. The day is coming when believers and non-believers alike will bow before Him.

I would rather humbly choose to bow than be forced to my knees. Jesus is coming soon. Begin practicing humility today.
