Philippians 2 (NIV)
Imitating Christ’s Humility
1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death--
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Humility is recognizing our origins from earth and from above. The first Adam was from earth and the second Adam was from heaven.
Wisdom is the application to life of information and knowledge which I understand.
One foot inside, one foot outside and we are divided, partitioned, and we are out rather than in.
The complete time is the total of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Time includes cycles, seasons, and periodical movements. The time can be foolishly full, as well as fully full.
I kneel down and nail down the gates of tradition, religion, racism, and all philosophies which imitate Christ, but are not of Christ Jesus.
Truth has made its paths for eternity which trace to the heart origin of God Himself.
Truth is a straight forward blessing.
A lie is aborted truth which is warped, twisted, reversed, and out of context.
