Phil 2:5-11

Jesus Emptied Himself!

Though he was in the form of God, he did not count equality with God as a thing to be grasped. Instead, he emptied himself and took the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. He humbled himself and was obedient even to the point of death on the cross like a criminal. God raised him in every way to adore him and confess that Jesus Christ the Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The mystery of life consists of self-emptying. Those who have humbled themselves to the Lord will be great. They give glory to God, and God will bless them. We think greatness consists of power, position, and wealth. It is true to a certain extent, but real joy and dignity cannot be bought with worldly means. Letting go of things and means is a way to get closer to God and others.

Do we consider humility and nothingness in the world as means to holiness?
