Humility
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"Who [Christ
Jesus], being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form
of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross" (Phil. 2:6-8).
Christ has
always existed in the form of God. But He emptied Himself and took the
form of a bond servant, being made in the likeness of men.
This suggests a distinct operation of God totally different from natural
generation: A miracle.
First, God took Christ from the Godhead in Heaven - and then He placed
Christ in the womb of a virgin to be united with flesh in a unique
conception.
"Therefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and
offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me" (Heb.
10:5).
God prepared a body - a special body - for this Being called the Son of
God. In the Incarnation, Christ became a man!
Confession: Thank You, Jesus, for emptying Yourself and being made
in the likeness of men. It was our only hope. Thank You for humbling
Yourself and becoming obedient unto death; yes, even the death of the
cross. And thank You, Father, for highly exalting Him, and for giving to
Him the Name which is above every name. At that Name my knee does bow,
and my tongue does confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father (Phil. 2:9-10).
