July 17- Start Your Day Right DevotionMADE HIMSELF NOTHINGThis phrase in Greek is ekenosen (from kenosis), which literally means He "emptied Himself." This does not mean that Jesus gave up His deity (His nature as fully God). It means that He voluntarily laid aside the privilege of His limitless existence as God, including His heavenly glory (John 17:4), position (John 5:30; Hebrews 5:8), riches (2 Corinthians 8:9), rights (Luke 22:27; Matthew 20:28), and the use of His attributes as God (John 5:19; 8:28; 14:10). This "emptying Himself" also meant taking on human suffering, misunderstanding, mistreatment, hatred, and, in the end, the curse of death on the cross. NATURE OF A SERVANT ... HUMAN LIKENESS Five passages in the Bible dealing with Christ taking the nature of a servant, Mark 13:32; Luke 2:40-52; Romans 8:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Hebrews 2:7; Hebrews 2:14. Although He remained fully divine (fully God), Christ took on a human nature with its temptations, humiliations and weaknesses; yet He endured all of these without sin. This means that He never offended or defied God or did anything wrong by God's perfect standard (Philippians 2:7-8; Hebrews 4:15). That is why He was able to make the perfect sacrifice and pay the ultimate and complete penalty for our sin once and for all (1 Peter 3:18). BIBLE STUDY TOOLS I USE
