Embracing Humility – Philippians 2:1-4

The church, both past and present, has often failed to be on the side of justice, especially in its treatment of indigenous peoples and other marginalized groups. If Jesus is truly King, then the powers and principalities of this world are not, and our joy becomes a subversive declaration of that truth. Paul’s challenge in Philippians 2 is to embrace humility, to make room for one another, and to seek unity that is not mere agreement, but a shared participation in the life and love of Christ.
