Reading: Philippians 2:7-8
7 he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
Over and over again, we read how God hunbled Jesus to come to us as a human. this savior of the world died to redeem us from the woeful load that sin had cast and gave us the glorious model of Grace. His death was agonizing and degrading; but served to release humankind from the poser and correuption that sin holds. We all live in a "Good Friday" world, and have been released from it by what is to come.
Gracious Lord: Thank you for taking on the power of sin so that we might live for the promise of Easter. Amen.
