“The Humbled and Exalted Christ” Philippians 2:5-11

TRANSCRIPT

Date: March 30, 2025 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

In our next sermon from Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we are privileged to address the greatest Christological passage in the New Testament regarding the incarnation of Christ. The two main lines are these: “Jesus, who being in the form of God,” – this describes Jesus’ pre-incarnate existence. Jesus did not begin His existence in the manger at Bethlehem. Jesus was with God in the beginning as the Son of God. “Humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” – A.T. Robertson called the death of the cross “The bottom rung in the ladder from the throne of God. Jesus came all the way down to the most despised death of all, a condemned criminal on the accursed cross.” Beloved, it is easy to hear this description of Jesus and admire Him from a distance. Ah, but then the challenge… “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” The lower our Lord had to stoop to save us, the higher we who have been saved ought to lift Him up! The theme of our current sermon series from Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians is “ The Epistle of Joy.” The title of this sermon is: “The Humbled and Exalted Christ.” Thank you for forwarding these sermon study guides to those you think might be interested. We are encouraged by the response we’ve received from viewers worldwide.
