Philippians 2:7-8

What Does Philippians 2:7-8 Mean?

Jesus is God, which means He has all power and glory. But He did not hold tightly to that power. Instead, He gave it up and became a human being – a baby, a child, a man – just like us. He even chose the hardest and most humble path of all: obeying God perfectly, all the way to dying on the cross. That is what real humility looks like.

This week, look for one way to serve someone without being asked – maybe carry groceries, clean up a mess you did not make, or let a sibling go first. Do it quietly, without expecting any praise or reward, just like Jesus served us.
