Unit 31 Session 5
THE HUMBLE SAVIOR
PHILIPPIANS 2; HEBREWS 4; 2 CORINTHIANS 5
The Son of God provided salvation through His humiliation on earth.
Philippians 2:5-11 teaches great theological truths about the humanity and divinity of Jesus. However, when we only focus on this section apart from the rest of the letter, we miss out on what Paul was showing the Philippians. The church at Philippi faced a very serious crisis - there were divisions that were threatening the unity of the church. Their common faith in Jesus should have united them, however, they were divided. Thus, Paul wrote this portion to show that Jesus' humiliation should bring His people together. Paul was calling them to unity through the gospel.
Points to consider:
✞ The Son of God humbled Himself to take on flesh.
* How have the world around us seen or not seen
the humility and unity that are supposed to define
Christians?
* How does knowing Jesus is fully God and fully man
encourage me in my Christian walk?
✞ The Son of God humbled Himself to die on the cross.
* How was Jesus' death on the cross the ultimate act of
humility?
* How does Jesus' humility destroy our pride?
✞ The Son of God humbled Himself to bring forth victory.
* How does knowing Jesus is victorious encourage us in
our evangelism efforts?
* What are ways we can honor Christ, knowing He
humbly died and took on our sin, giving us His
righteousness?
