SETTING THE SCENE

In Philippians 2, Paul teaches us how to treat others by showing us how Jesus treated people. Even though Jesus is God, He humbled Himself. He became a servant, obeyed God completely, and gave His life for us. Paul tells us that if we are followers of Jesus, we should live with humility, put others first, and work together in unity.

This chapter reminds us that following Jesus means having a new attitude—one that puts others before ourselves and brings glory to God.
