Just Like Jesus<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Philippians 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Community of Christ<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philippians 2:1-4 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colossians 3:12-14 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Put on then, as God\u201d\u2122s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commitment of Christ<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philippians 2:5-8 (ESV) <\/strong>
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conquest of Christ<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philippians 2:9-11 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.<\/p>\n

John 5:22-23 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>22 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,<\/span>
\n23 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 28:18 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And Jesus came and said to them, \u201cAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Continuance in Christ<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philippians 2:12-13 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Character of Christ<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philippians 2:14-18 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Do all things without grumbling or disputing,
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
\n16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
\n18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Companions in Christ<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philippians 2:19-24 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you.
\n20 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.
\n21 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
\n22 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But you know Timothy\u201d\u2122s proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.
\n23 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,
\n24 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also. <\/span><\/p>\n

Philippians 2:25-30 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>25 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,
\n26 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.
\n27 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
\n28 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.
\n29 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men,
\n30 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.<\/p>\n
