PHILIPPIANS: Be Like Jesus

We imitate all kinds of people in life, some on purpose and some accidentally. In this episode we discover who Paul encourages us to copy someone who considers others as more important than themselves - Jesus!

Here are the bible verses quoted in today's episode:

Bible Passage: Philippians 2:3-11

Don't be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. Care about others as much as you care about yourselves and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought:

Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain     equal with God.

Instead he gave up everything     and became a slave, when he became     like one of us.

Christ was humble. He obeyed God and even died     on a cross.

Then God gave Christ     the highest place and honored his name     above all others.

So at the name of Jesus     everyone will bow down, those in heaven, on earth,     and under the earth.

And to the glory     of God the Father everyone will openly agree,     “Jesus Christ is Lord!”

Today's Questions:

• How can you ensure that Jesus is your role model?

• What is something you can do in the next hour to someone to show that you are being like Jesus and putting someone else first?

• Pray that God can help you because, due to our sinful natures, it is only possible with God.
