Humbled by the Unparalleled Humility of the Crucified Christ

Pastor Aldo Leon - Philippians 2:5-8
Series: The Gospel's Only Place: The Center
Delivered on: 28 August 2016

As Paul moves from what we have by grace to the need to be about other people and not ourselves in the church, he then quickly shifts gears and goes back to the cross. It seems that for Paul, love and service in the church can only come from fixing our eyes on the scandalous humility of a crucified Christ who was eternally privileged as God. Loving humility is not about trying to be so or even being told to do so, but it comes from forgetting about ourselves in the radical saving self-forgetfulness of Christ. In summary, Paul shows us that the key for a gospel-centered church to be about people is in the church seeing itself regularly in light of the implications of a saving-serving Christ. (Php 2:5-8)
