Philippians 2:5-11
“I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.”
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11
This passage is an early hymn that was either written or quoted by Paul in his letter to the Philippians. It describes the identity of Jesus through the narrative of his life, death, resurrection, and exaltation.
What does it look like to “let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus” today?
What are some ways you can worship and proclaim the name of Jesus today?
