Jun 24, 2018 · The Bible testifies that Jesus as God voluntarily emptied Himself to assume the form of man: Phil. 2:6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, Phil. 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
May 30, 2024 · Son of God (Romans 1:3-4) Jesus did not veil His power or His authority; we see it shown in the following accounts: Jesus Turned Water to Wine (John 2:1-11) This was the first of His signs (miracles). “This, the first of His signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested His glory. And his disciples believed in Him.”
Dec 18, 2017 · Therefore, he grew up through the stages of childhood like other humans, yet without sin. Paul says in 1 Timothy 2:5, “There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man” — the human — “Christ Jesus.” So, in his divine nature, Christ was fully God. In his human nature, he was fully man.
Nov 12, 2024 · Bible verses about being nothing without God. Without God you would have no life at all. Outside of Christ there is no reality. There is no logic. There is no reason for anything. Everything was made for Christ. Your next breath comes from Christ and is to go back to Christ.

Fittingly, the first mention of humilityin all the Bible comes in the escalating showdown between Egypt’s Pharaoh and Israel’s God, mediated through Moses. Moses first dared to appear before Pharaoh in Exodus 5, and spoke on Yahweh’s behalf, “Let my people go” (Exodus 5:1). To which Pharaoh replied, “Who is Yahweh, that I should obey his voice and ...
Put another way, humility embraces the reality that I am not God. Pride led to humanity’s fall when Adam and Eve desired to “be like God” (Genesis 3:5) contrary to his command. Humility would have obeyedhis command — which is what we will see below in Christ. Humility, then, is a creaturely virtue. It is a posture of soul and body and life that ack...
Let’s marvel, then, at this remarkable word from the apostle Paul — that Christ “humbled himself” (Philippians 2:8). Note first, confirming our definition above of humility as a creaturely virtue, that the eternal Son first became man (verse 7), then humbled himself (verse 8). The verb Paul uses to capture the action of the incarnation is not humbl...
So, first, he became man. Then, as man, came the creaturely virtue: “he humbled himself.” Paul confirms what we learned about humility in the negative example of Pharaoh in Exodus 10: How did Jesus “humble himself”? By becoming obedient. To humble oneself is to acknowledge God as Lord and to obey as servant. In order to do so, then, the Son had to ...
But his self-humbling does not stop at obedience. The apostle adds, “to the point of death.” Christ’s obedience was an all-the-way obedience. A true obedience. He did not obey for a time, as long as it was comfortable, and then try another path. No, he obeyed to the point of death. Real obedience endures in obedience. Christ did not begin in obedie...
God indeed does command our humility. His hand and plan conspire to humble us, whether through pandemics or through the consequences of personal sins. And there in our humbling, whether our own sin played a part in it or not, he invites us to humble ourselves — and in no small measure by learning from the self-humbling of Christ. The humility of Ch...
The humility of Christ, in his life and death and resurrection, also testifies to one of God’s clearest and most memorable promises in all the Scriptures: he humbles the proud, and exalts the humble. So it was with Christ. He humbled himself, and “God has highly exalted him” (Philippians 2:9) — literally, “super-exalted” (Greek hyperypsōsen). And s...
Paul declares that Jesus Christ is the power and wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24) and that God is pleased to have all His fullness dwell in the Son (Colossians 1:19; 2:9). Matthew concludes his Gospel record with these words of Jesus: “All authority (power) in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28:18).

Jan 14, 2020 · To many modern theologians, Jesus’s miracles are really no different. He too did his miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a result, they don’t point to his person—except insofar as Jesus relies on the Spirit—but to the human nature he shares with us. Like us, he must rely on divine resources outside himself.
