Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

Philippians 2:1-6 - Jesus is God

Continuing our verse by verse exposition of the book of Philippians we come across one of the most widely known portions of the book, perhaps one of the most widely known passages in all of Paul's writings. It has been called "The Hymn to Christ." Most modern scholars think that Paul is quoting from an ancient hymn sung by Christians in the early church. The hymn starts in verse six of Philippians chapter two and goes down through verse eleven. It is poetically beautiful and theologically meaty.



Who is Jesus and what did the early church believe about him? Why is that important to us? And what does this passage say to the idea that some have proposed that the early church really did not believe in the deity of Christ, that this was an idea that came along later? We delve into this passage in this lesson, and though we don't get far, I believe it will be worth your time. Good theology both secures our faith through our mind and inspires awe and love of God in our hearts. Take a listen and be blessed.
