There is a verse in Philippians 2 that has been used since the first century to deny the nature of Jesus Christ. In this study we look at the hypostatic union, both the divine and human nature of Christ and what it means when Paul said that Jesus "emptied" himself. It is not only an amazing mystery that the God of all creation would lower himself to the poorest of humanity to show His love for us, it is also a perfect example of humility. This is where we find our joy. In humbling ourselves before others, in response to His humbling himself for us.
