Good Morning!

But emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man]. After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross.  -Philippians 2:7-8 AMP

If we were asked to give up everything we have to go live in some of the harshest environments that exist, to be an example and to die for people, some of which will kill us and some of which will ridicule us and spit in our face, would we do it? We live in a broken world and what we would have to give up would be far less than what Jesus gave up to come down here on earth. He did it willingly and He faced the temptations we face yet didn’t submit to them, He had opportunities to sin just like we do, the enemy tried everything to he could to try and crack Him, yet He didn’t. He can relate to anything we are facing because He lived it. He did all that for you 🫵…for all of us.

“Jesus gave up everything so you could have everything.”

“If Jesus gave it all for you, do you really think He’s going to give up on you?”

Dad Joke of the Day:

Whoever named it “Parmesan cheese” and not “spaghetti confetti” missed a great opportunity.

Have a great Thursday!
