The Bible is full of comparisons and contrasts. In this Gospel you will hear of the difference between the Lord Jesus and us. The scriptures tell us that the Lord Jesus humbled himself unto death at Calvary’s cross to bring salvation to sinners. Jesus was obedient unto death and the Bible says He emptied himself at the cross. By this great sacrifice God is able to offer salvation to whosever believes on Him can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Philippians 2:5-11 “5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman’s form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;
8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father’s glory.”
Ruth 1:19-21 “And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the [women] said, Is this Naomi?20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi—call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.21 I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty.”
