In this Easter message from Philippians 2:6–11, Pastor Jim explores Jesus’ journey from humility and death to resurrection and exaltation. Using the image of a race already won, he shows that Jesus has secured victory over sin and death, and that victory is now given to those who are in Him, changing how we live each day.

The message follows three movements: the road Jesus took, our union with Him, and new creation living. Jesus chose the path of a servant, humbling Himself to the cross before being raised in glory. This same pattern, descent before ascent, is the path believers are invited into, dying to self to find true life in Christ.

Pastor Jim closes by emphasizing that the resurrection is not just future hope but present reality. In Jesus, new creation has already begun, giving believers a new identity and a transformed way of living that reflects His victory.
