Saul of Tarsus' View of Christ

[Job_38]

So as I investigated and applied to Him the normal standards by which any life is evaluated, I

discovered that this man, Jesus of Nazareth, was not worth following. He was worth nothing.

But on the Damascus road something happened. There, in the blinding flash of a moment, I

looked into the face of a man and saw God. I discovered that He whom I thought to be worth

nothing was the Lord of everything; that He was the God of glory, that everything that is

made is upheld by the word of His power; that He is behind all things, and that He is the very

imprint and image of God. There I found that He whom I thought to be nothing, was

everything, and I, whom I thought to be everything, was nothing. In that moment I came to a

tremendous reversal of all the values of my life. Later I learned that I, who was nothing, could

be filled with Him who was everything; and that would make my life something! <I>Major Ian

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature[1] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[2] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death--
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
