The Example of Christ's Humility. Php_2:5-11 Christ's state of humiliation and its lesson: v. 5. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, v. 6. who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, v. 7. but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men; v. 8. and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. His... read more

Christ's state of exaltation: v. 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name, v. 10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth, v. 11. and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father. The enthusiasm of the apostle here carries him beyond his original scope, in a triumphant description of Christ's exaltation: On which... read more

(2) Christ’s Example on the Way through Humiliation to Exaltation (Philippians 2:1-11)After earnestly and eloquently entreating them to stand together in harmony (Philippians 2:1-4), he holds up to view the person of the Redeemer (Philippians 2:5-6), His state of Humiliation (Philippians 2:7-8), and His state of exaltation (Philippians 2:9-11)1If there be therefore any consolation [exhortation] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any1 bowels and mercies... read more

God helps believers in their endeavors to imitate Christ(Philippians 2:12-18.)12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do of (or for) his good pleasure. 14Do all things without murmurings and disputings [doubtings]. 15That ye may be [become]6 blameless and harmless [pure] (the) sons [children] of God, without rebuke,7... read more

Philippians A PLEA FOR UNITY Php_2:1-4 R.V.. There was much in the state of the Philippian church which filled Paul’s heart with thankfulness, and nothing which drew forth his censures, but these verses, with their extraordinary energy of pleading, seem to hint that there was some defect in the unity of heart and mind of members of the community. It did not amount to discord, but the concord was not as full as it might have been. There is another hint pointing in the same direction in the... read more

Philippians THE DESCENT OF THE WORD Php_2:5-8 R.V.. The purpose of the Apostle in this great passage must ever be kept clearly in view. Our Lord’s example is set forth as the pattern of that unselfish disregard of one’s own things, and devotion to the things of others, which has just been urged on the Philippians, and the mind which was in Him is presented as the model on which they are to fashion their minds. This purpose in some measure explains some of the peculiarities of the language... read more

Philippians THE ASCENT OF JESUS Php_2:9-11 R.V.. ‘He that humbleth himself shall be exalted,’ said Jesus. He is Himself the great example of that law. The Apostle here goes on to complete his picture of the Lord Jesus as our pattern. In previous verses we had the solemn steps of His descent, and the lifelong humility and obedience of the incarnate Son, the man Christ Jesus. Here we have the wondrous ascent which reverses all the former process. Our text describes the reflex motion by... read more

Philippians WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION Php_2:12-13 . ‘What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder!’ Here are, joined together, in the compass of one practical exhortation, the truths which, put asunder, have been the war-cries and shibboleths of contending sects ever since. Faith in a finished salvation, and yet work ; God working all in me, and yet I able and bound to work likewise; God upholding and sustaining His child to the very end; ‘perfecting that which concerns him,’... read more

Philippians COPIES OF JESUS Php_2:14-16 R.V.. We are told by some superfine modern moralists, that to regard one’s own salvation as the great work of our lives is a kind of selfishness, and no doubt there may be a colour of truth in the charge. At least the meaning of the injunction to work out our own salvation may have been sometimes so misunderstood, and there have been types of Christian character, such as the ascetic and monastic, which have made the representation plausible. I do... read more
