Race To The Bottom
from Sunday Service
This morning in Philippians 2 we come to what some consider to be the most profound and theologically important words of all of the New Testament writers. In verses 5-11 the apostle Paul points out that Jesus is the ultimate example of what service is like. In just a few verses the apostle Paul makes clear that it was God Himself clothed in human flesh who came from heaven to earth not to be served but to serve, and not just serve but to sacrificially serve by giving His life on Calvary’s Cross. Paul points to Jesus as the ultimate example of both faith and practice and is why I titled this mornings message a “Race To The Bottom” because unlike the ladder of success the world promotes which is always upward, Jesus made it clear in both His teachings and in His modeling that the greatest among us is the servant and when you study the life of Jesus Christ you see the greatest service and the greatest sacrifice of all.
