Adopting Christs AttitudeEach of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the

interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with Godsomething to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of

a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as aman, he humbled Himself and became obedient to deatheven death on the

cross! (Phil. 2:48, NIV).Here the attribute of glory is ascribed to all three members of the

Trinity. This glory is then confirmed as a glory that is eternal. It is notsomething added to or acquired by Jesus at some point in His earthly life and

ministry. He held this glory at the beginning and will possess it for eternity:Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the

name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shouldbow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:911, NIV).Though the form of servanthood covered Jesus and His life was

marked by a willing humiliation, nevertheless there were moments in Hisministry where the glory of His deity burst through. It was these moments that

provoked John to write, And we beheld His glory (John 1:14).

Make a joyful noise to

the LORD, all the earth!

Serve the LORD with gladness!

Come into his

presence with singing!

Know that the LORD, he is God!

It is he who made us, and we arehis; we are his people, and the

sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

and his courts with praise!

Give thanks to him; bless his name!

For the LORD is good;

his steadfast love endures forever,

and his faithfulness to allgenerations.
