Philippians 2:5 - 8 (NKJV)

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond servant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

And now the rest of the story - Jesus rose from the dead, Jesus our risen Lord, Jesus our risen Savior - Jesus the name to which every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that He is Lord - Jesus who taught us that humility and obedience are fundamental to our spiritual growth.

Abba, Father we Your humble and obedient children lift our arms in praise, with joy in our hearts and peace in our spirit it is well to be with You; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
