Lectionary Readings

One of our lectionary readings from this week is Philippians 2:5-11. Where is Paul as he is writing this letter? What does it mean to have the "same mindset as Christ"? What are the full implications of that calling? What does it mean for Jesus to be "in the form of God"? See also John 1:1-3. What did Jesus give up to become human? Besides human, what did Jesus become? Both this scripture and the scripture that Pastor David will preach on tomorrow (Matthew 21:1-11) speak of humility. If we have the same mindset as Christ, how are we to humble ourselves? What do verses 9-11 tell us about Jesus's reward for His obedience? How are we called to be obedient? Post your thoughts and share in the discussion.
