This week's passage is one of the greatest texts on Christ and His nature in all of scripture. The majority of this passage is widely recognized as an early Christian hymn that Paul uses to ground his call for the Philippians to walk in humility. He begins by calling the believers to shape their lives and thinking around a humility that counts others more significant than themselves—because of the humility of the Savior. Since we are one with Him, we are capable and called to have the humility that He had. Christ did not fight to stay at God's right-hand in glory, but instead suffered the humiliation of taking on man's nature and experiencing persecution even to His own death for our interests and sake. Not only are we united with Christ in His humility, but also in His exaltation. Since we are one with Him, we are called to walk in humility now trusting God that we will be exalted with Him on that final day (Matthew 23:12).
