Hey! I felt like bein' western this mornin'. *giggles* Alright, down to business. Today's verses are Philippians 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 obediant unto death, even the death of the cross." This verse reminds us of the sacrifice Jesus made when coming down to earth. He came down from heaven, was born of a virgin, and died the sacrificial death on the cross. three days later He rose again. Jesus' life was filled with examples of HIm being a servant. He washed His disciples feet. A disciple was a follower. So, Jesus, the teacher, showed humility by washing His students' feet. He healed the sick. He served those who were in pain. Those people then brought glory to God through their healing. He cast out devils. He wanted the devils to stay away from those who believe. He cast them out and their healing brought glory to God as well. He brought the greatest healing of all, the healing of the soul. He brought us salvation. He served us all His earthly life, and He still serves by being a mediator between God and man. Christ is the ultimate form of servitude. Because of His service, we can have victory.
I heard and old, old story, how a savior came from glory.
How he gave his life on calvary, to save a wretch like me.
I heard about his groanings, about his precious blood atoneing.
And I repented of my sins and won the victory.
(chorus)
Oh, victory in Jesus. My savior forever.
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood.
He loved me ere I knew him. And all my love is due him.
He plunged me to victory behind the cleansing flood.
That song is the hymn "Victory in Jesus". I have victory. Do you?
Hello readers! I am a girl with an overactive imagination and some random hyperactive bursts. I get it from my six year old brother. Writing and reading are two things I do a lot. I may offend some people without meaning to and forgive me if I do. I just want say that I want your imput. This is your blog too. Just ask and if I like it and it is reasonable, I'll put it onto my blog! I may be a little childish at times, but hey, that's how I am. Look around to see what I've made! Enjoy!
