426: Imitating The King Who Served (Philippians 2:5-11)

Om avsnittet

This sermon discusses the christological portrayal of Christ Jesus taking the form of the Isaianic Suffering Servant, as it is depicted in Phil 2:5–11. Instead of suggesting that a divine figure descended from heaven to become man, Paul illustrates King Jesus refusing to exploit his messianic privileges, choosing instead to embody the role of the Servant depicted in Isaiah 52–53. Paul expects his readers to imitate the example of Jesus, the human king who chose to serve others in obedience to the true God.
