"IN HIS COMING"

       "But (He) emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant, 

        and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in

        Appearance of man, He humbled Himself by becoming obe-

        dient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

                                        Philippians 2:7-8

        The incredible path, from heavenly Sovereign to earthly victim crucified on a cross, is describe above verse. And consider the steps downward that Jesus took to share our humanity and die for our sins.

               1. He emptied Himself

               2. He took the form of a bond servant.

               3. He humbled Himself by becoming obedient unto death.

               4. He accepted the most humilating type of death: crucifixion.

        To accomplish our salvation on a cross, Jesus first had to empty Himself. This not mean that gave up His deity; rather, it signifies that Christ set aside the independent use of His divine attributes and submitted Himself to the Father's will.

        The Father's will mandated that Jesus descend into the lowest depths of suffering and hell for our sins. But once our debt was paid, God again lifted up His Son on a position of highest glory and honor.

         Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him 

          the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus 

          every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, 

          and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that 

          Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.(vv. 9-11)

The Great Question

           The great question facing us today, this moment, is whether or not we will voluntarily humble ourselves before the Lord Jesus or wait until we're forced to do so. If we act now we will be saved. If we refuse to confess Jesus Christ as Lord while we're on the earth, we will surely concede it one day under the earth. But by then it will be too late for that declaration to change our eternal destiny.

          Jesus is the lifeline the Father has lowered for our salvation. There is no other way to be rescued from the penalty of our sins but by Him. Don't wait, grab ahold of Him while you have the chance.

         Here is the song.. "Oh Jesus full of grace"

Verse1.      The earth is the Lord

                  The fulness is in this world

                  And those who dwell's  therein

                  The heaven are yours 

                  This earth is also yours

                  And this world and the fulness thereof

Chorus:      OH Jesus full of grace

                   I'm save by his grace in Him

Verse2.       When  the fulness of time has come

                   God send forth His Son

                  To save this world who dwells therein

                   He was born of a woman born under the law

                  To redeem  and called us to be His Son

Bridge:      Jesus only your name that we are save

                 You come for the lost thru your that we

                 Are save
