Nothing at all

...but [Jesus] made himself  nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human  likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and  became obedient to death - even death on a cross!...... 

- Philippians 2:7-8 -



Thoughts on  This Verse... Christianity is not for wimps or the faint of heart. Our  example is described by words like''made himself of no reputation''  ...''servant'' ...''humbled himself'' ...''became obedient'' ...''death  on a cross!'' That's tough stuff. And that is our example. The story of  the Jesus may begin with a sweet child, but it also begins with him  being placed where animals ate their food. While it may be powerful and  precious, it is not saccharine and fake sentiment. It is about the price  paid to redeem and the people who are different because they know their  Redeemer.
