“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.”
Philippians 2:5-7 ESV
Rebirth and humility – How do we get to the place of rebirth and experience all that it has for us? To be reborn, we have to die, to die we have to submit to the forces that want to kill us. Jesus submitted to the will of politics in his time. As an expression of weakness and submission to the will of the father he was willing to die. We all die. It’s best to prepare before the end. It requires humility and acceptance of the realities of life. Like my dad used to say, “Life is hard, then you die.” Humbly submitting to the realities of this life, is the door to everlasting purpose, peace, and joy. (2/25/24)
