Luke 19:28-46

Luke 19:28-46

Why did Jesus come in the flesh?

The incarnation--God with us in human form…

Philippians 2:5-11 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,a 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant,b being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Self sacrifice and service.

Credibility and trustworthiness.

Jesus gave both quality and quantity time.

1 Peter 5:5 God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Matthew 20:26-28...whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many!
