Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:10

Philippians 2:10 I. Even angels are to worship in the name of Jesus. It is, however, more to the purpose for us to remember that God desires men, all men, so to worship. And it is a thought at once solemnising and comforting that not only living men, but the dead also, are required to call upon God in the name of Jesus. It is assumed in the words of our text that all God's creatures will bend the knee somehow. Prayer is an instinct of nature. God has so made us that we feel a power above us,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:12

Philippians 2:12 Working out Salvation. (1) This counsel implies that something has been already done. The very phrase "Work out" suggests this. The salvation has been begun, and is in one sense a complete thing. We stand still and see the salvation of God. (2) The exhortation implies that something more is to be done: "Work out your own salvation." Then it is not only a work done for us and without us, but it is a continual process within us. There is a new life created, and the life grows, as... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:12-13

Philippians 2:12-13 I. A Christian man has his whole salvation already accomplished for him in Christ, and yet he is to work it out. Work as well as believe, and in the daily practice of faithful obedience, in the daily subjugation of your own spirits to His Divine power, in the daily crucifixion of your flesh, with its affections and lusts, in the daily straining after loftier heights of godliness and purer atmospheres of devotion and love, make more thoroughly your own that which you possess.... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 2:1-2

DISCOURSE: 2143UNITY RECOMMENDEDPhilippians 2:1-2. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.THE Church of Christ is one great family; all its members being children of one common Parent, and partakers of one common interest. To consult the good of the whole is the duty of each; no one regarding his own... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 2:3

DISCOURSE: 2144ESTEEMING OTHERS ABOVE OURSELVESPhilippians 2:3. In lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.IT is a common and universally approved saying, that the tree may be known by its fruit. Now we would have the Gospel brought to this test: and we are willing that it should be accepted or rejected, according to the issue of this trial. That good things have been spoken by uninspired men on the subject of humility, we readily admit: for modesty, and a deference to... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 2:5-8

DISCOURSE: 2145CHRIST’S HUMILIATIONPhilippians 2:5-8. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [Note: This subject might well be treated thus:–1. What the Lord Jesus Christ has... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 2:9-11

DISCOURSE: 2146THE EXALTATION OF CHRISTPhilippians 2:9-11. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.WE are told by an inspired Apostle, that the great scope of the prophecies related to “the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Philippians 2:12-13

DISCOURSE: 2147GOD ASSISTS THE DILIGENTPhilippians 2:12-13. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.THERE is no person, however eminent his attainments in religion may be, who does not need to be exhorted and urged to press forward. The Philippians, in the judgment of the Apostle, had had “the good work begun in them;” yea, they had “obeyed the word while he was with them,” and had made a still greater... read more

"The glory which I had with Thee before the world was."
