Philippians 2
The Emptying of Jesus
Teaching t08992
Why did Jesus fail to demonstrate some aspects of deity at times? He said he didn't know when he was coming back, he couldn't perform miracles sometimes, and he was only in one place at a time. This fascinating passage explains the mystery of the ages: how Jesus Christ emptied himself in order to be the once-and-for-all sacrifice for humankind. Beyond that, we learn how this "emptying" impacts our ability to sacrificially love others.
