PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER 2

Philippians 2nd chapter-Apostle Paul highlights the spirit of humbleness here. To be humble in this world is a difficult thing. We get angry when someone insults us or degrades us. But our attitude should be same as that of our Lord Jesus, who being in very nature God, made himself nothing, taking a human form and came into this world. He suffered excruciating death on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He was whipped, tortured, insulted and was nailed to the cross. During this whole period, he did not utter any word against anyone. If he wanted he could have got a whole legion of angels to defend him or destroy everybody who were trying to kill him. This is because He loved us so much and obeyed His Heavenly Father in everything even to the extent of offering Himself as a living sacrifice for the sins of whole humanity to attain forgiveness. Since He had humbled Himself to that level, God the Heavenly Father has exalted him to the highest place and gave Him the name above every name. At the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth. And every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord.
That is why Apostle Paul says we should not do anything out of selfish ambition or with a crooked aim. We should do everything in all humbleness considering others affairs better than ourselves. We should do everything without complaining or arguing and be blameless and pure. When we humble ourselves like this, God will definitely exalt us to a higher position.
