Bible Study - Jesus Christ, The Supreme Example
In the opening verses of Philippians 2, Paul tells us to esteem others better than ourselves with humble minds. In verse 5, he tells us that to accomplish this, we need to let the mind of Christ be in us. In this study Mr. Smith goes through verses 6-11 showing us what the mind of Christ is. Jesus was willing to let go of his power as God in order to take on the nature of mankind in order to make possible our eternal salvation as members in God's eternal family.
