A Thing To Be Grasped


Philippians 2:5-8 ESV
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant,   being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 

Jesus did not think His divinity something to hold on to, but instead came for us. We should be all the more eager to let go of our flesh for the form of Jesus. 
We are to be humble and obedient as a new creature in Christ.
