Philippians 2:5-9 Celebrating Emmanuel

Philippians 2:5-8 Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross!

We cannot rise to God’s level. “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. no one who seeks God. All have turned away, All have turned away, they have together become worthless; they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” there is no one who does good, not even one.” Romans 3:10-12 Romans 3:10-12

I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20
