效法基督

腓立比書 25-11
5 你們應當有基督耶穌那樣的心腸。
6 祂雖然本質上是上帝,
卻沒有緊緊抓住自己與上帝的平等地位,

7 反而甘願放下一切,
取了奴仆的形象,降生為人的樣子。

8 祂以人的樣子出現后,
就自願卑微,順服至死,
而且死在十字架上。

9 因此,上帝將祂升為至尊,
賜給祂超乎萬名之上的名,

10 使一切天上的、地上的和地底下的,
無不屈膝跪拜在耶穌的名下,

11 無不口稱耶穌基督是主,
將榮耀歸於父上帝。




Php 2:5-11 GNB  The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had:  (6)  He always had the nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to remain equal with God.  (7)  Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had, and took the nature of a servant. He became like a human being and appeared in human likeness.  (8)  He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death--- his death on the cross.  (9)  For this reason God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.  (10)  And so, in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees,  (11)  and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
