The Humble Savior

Philippians 2

Hebrews 4:2

2 Corinthians 5

The Son of God provided salvation through humiliation on earth.

Jesus, the Son of God, humbled Himself by taking on flesh and living on the earth amongst His creation. Although He was without sin, Jesus gave up His life on the cross, paying the sin penalty owed by others. Jesus rose from the dead in victory. All who trust in Jesus are forgiven of their sin and are credited with his righteousness so that they too bring glory to the Father.

Because Jesus secured our salvation through His humiliation on earth, we humble ourselves always seeking to put God's plan and the needs of others about our own.

The Scattered Church

Acts 8

Persecution did not stifle the gospel but rather served to spread the gospel as the church advanced its mission of proclaiming the gospel to all people.

Persecution led to the scattering of the church and the gospel going forward. Philip encountered an Ethiopian Eunuch who was familiar with the Old Testament prophets but was unable to understand how their message was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Phillip, led by the Spirit, helped the eunuch understand how Jesus fulfilled Scripture by dying on the cross for our sins and rising from the dead.

Because we have received new life in Christ and have committed to following Him, we seek to be available and obedient to the Spirit's prompting, able and willing to show Christ in all the Scriptures.
