Jubilee Church Hull

Paul’s beautiful poem, reflecting on the humility of Christ, is an encouragement and challenge to us. There is such theological richness here as we meditate on the nature of Christ, God come to the earth as a man, self-limiting and willing to die. Jesus is the perfect example of a life lived in love and service of God and others. Paul’s encouragement to the church in this passage is to make sure that they remain united, that affection, love, encouragement and sympathy would be hallmarks of their community and that they continue to serve one another in humility.
