October 26

These last two weeks we have been talking about Philippians 2 which is all about unity, humanity, and humility.  Jesus was Paul’s centerpiece on what humility was all about as he humbly went to the cross.  I read this on my desk calendar this morning that adds to this idea.  Charles Stanley says in his book A Touch of His Freedom, “Jesus Christ did not die for you because you were actually worth dying for.  He died for you because he considered you worth dying for.  He put your best interests above his own — and he willingly marched to Calvary.”  An interesting thought.  It was not our actual worth that Jesus humbled himself, it was how he considered our interests above his own.
