In Philippians 2:1–11, Paul paints a breathtaking picture of the mind of Christ; a mind marked by humility, unity, and obedience. Writing from prison, Paul calls the church to mirror Christ’s self-emptying love, the kind that counts others as more significant than oneself. Through the mystery of the incarnation, Jesus, fully God and fully man, lowered Himself to the point of death, and in doing so, revealed that true greatness is found in humility. This passage reminds us that the path of humility is the path to glory, and that our unity as God’s people is both our greatest witness and our deepest joy.
