In The Likeness



Philippians 2:5-8 (ESV Strong's)

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 emptied himself, by 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.


He emptied Himself to become a son of man. Then humbled Himself in obedience and the fullness of God was pleased to dwell with Him.  


Jesus was born with the spirit of a man and received the Holy Spirit to be the first man made in the image of God. We who follow Him in receiving His Spirit will be like Him- a son of God.
