The High Cost of Christmas

Philippians 2:5-11

Rev. Johnny Wong

1.   Jesus became a man like us

⁷ but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! ~Philippians 2:7-8

2.   Jesus came to die

⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~Romans 5:8

²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. ~1 Peter 2:24

3.  Jesus is Lord

⁹ Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ~Philippians 2:9-11

   

⁹ That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ~ Romans 10:9
