We should have a real love and interest in each other and not demand our own way.
Christ is the ultimate example.
We are a work in progress, and we have our differences but we should become more and more like Christ.
It is hard for us, it was even harder for Him. He had the right to insist on His rights but He bore the sins of all people.
He says follow my example.
vs.5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
He has always been God, there was never a time when He wasn't God.
He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord's but He became a slave.
He submitted Himself to His Father but was always equal to Him and the Holy Spirit but they fulfilled different roles.
It was the Son's role to become a man (but never ceased to be God) and bear the judgement of God for sin so that if we repent of our sin and put our faith and trust in Him and His finished work at Calvary we will be saved, forgiven, redeemed, born again ETC.
vs.9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
To the glory of God the Father.
