CHRIST is exalted!
Philippians 2
v6-11
He is high and exalted, He is in the highest place. The Lord is over your pain, rejection, fear, intimidation, blindness and confusion. Because He is over it He can fix it. He can touch your situation today, pick you up, dust you down, remodel you, release the gifting in you, take away all your guilt and send you again. He is exalted and He will exalt.
But our attitude should be the same as that of Him: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing …
Let’s stop bullying our way to the front.
Let’s stop manipulating our way to the top.
Let’s help others to get there before us.
Let’s be like the exalted Christ.
Of all that is in heaven, Jesus, the Son of God, part of the Godhead, He is exalted! Around the throne are cries day and night “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come.”
Have the same attitude as Christ: who from his position of who He is and His power said: Today, its not about me!
When faced with temptation., Jesus didn’t say because of my position, my experience, my title, its okay for me to fall a little here cos I know my Father will command his angels concerning me to guard me carefully; they will left me up in their hands, so that I will not strike my foot against a stone (Luke 4:10-11). No, He said, Today its not about me.
When faced with trial and taken down a path that was marked with difficulty and danger. He didn’t stand and say “Im not having this. I will call on Father who will put at my disposal more than 12 legions of angels, Matthew 26:53. No, he said, Today its not about me.
Christ was exalted. He laid that down. He was exalted again.
We do well to remember that.
