DAY 33
Buried Alive
Have this attitude in yourselves which
was also in Christ Jesus,
who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a
thing to be grasped, but emptied
Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the
likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by
becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. --Philippians 2:5-8
Man needed redemption not only from sin but
also from himself. In order to accomplish that, God
had to become a man, be victorious over all that vexes mankind, return to
heaven, and from there dispense
His victorious life to all who would ask. We have to wonder what it was
like for Him who created the entire universe to wake up in the morning and
discover Himself in the body of a baby. Imagine waking up and finding yourself
in a coffin six feet under the ground. Would you panic, beat the sides of the
coffin, yell, scream, and plead for deliverance? The body in which He found
Himself was indeed a coffin, for in it He would die, but when God yielded Himself to
living as a man, He humbled Himself.

Isn’t
it interesting that when the Man with an immeasurable IQ tells us something so
very simple and uncomplicated that will dramatically “improve” life for us here
on earth, we read it as if it were the day’s severe weather prognostication and
go about our business unmoved…umbrella left at home.
1.
have this attitude…
2.
empty ourself (humility)…I have nothing.
3.
ask for His victorious life to be dispensed to us today
4.
enjoy His life abundantly all day long
Doesn’t
seem too difficult, does it? Can we
believe it will happen?
