A Theology of Christmas
Philippians 2:5-11
Hearers of the Word:
Theme: For each of us to embrace the real story of the birth of Christ and to make no mistake about the genuine significance of it.
I. He Abandoned A Sovereign Position v6
II. He Accepted a Slave’s Place v7
III. He Associated with Sinful People v7-8
IV. He Adopted Selfless Posture V 8
V. He Ascended a Supreme Prince v 9-11
Doers of the Word:
1. Explain in your own words the condescension of Jesus Christ?
2. In your personal study this week read 2 Corinthians 8:9. Consider the riches of Christ and what He gave up for your sake. Write in your own words and knowledge exactly what Christ gave up in surrender so that we might gain salvation?
2a. How does that make you feel?
2b. How should you respond in light of the condescension of Jesus Christ?
3. In your personal study this week read John 15:20. Pastor Steven taught us that Jesus came to earth and accepted a slave’s place. Jesus taught that his disciples are no better than the master. So, what does this say about your spiritual walk and goals as a follower of Jesus?
3a. Are you growing as a servant of the Lord?
3b. How can you approach a new year and give more than you get? Can you lift your eyes and see what Jesus sees?
