About this episode
We all long for greatness, but Jesus redefines it. In Philippians 2, Paul quotes one of the oldest hymns about Christ: though He was in very nature God, He poured Himself out, became a servant, and humbled Himself to death on a cross. Greatness is not climbing the ladder of success — it’s coming down the ladder in self-giving love. This reveals God’s true nature: to serve, not to grasp. 00:00 — What does Philippians 2 teach about greatness? 00:20 — Why we all want to be winners 01:10 — The problem with the ladder of success 01:40 — How Jesus redefined greatness 02:15 — The oldest hymn about Christ in the New Testament 03:11 — “Being in very nature God” explained 05:54 — What does it mean that Jesus emptied Himself? 07:30 — The very nature of God is to serve 08:32 — Jesus revealed God by becoming a servant 10:14 — Why the way of Jesus is down, not up 11:20 — How to have the same mindset as Christ 12:00 — Why Jesus changed the world through humility Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
