“既然有人的样子，就自甘卑微，顺服至死，而且死在十字架上。”
腓立比书 2:8
“And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!”
Philippians 2:8
Paul wrote of Jesus emptying Himself and taking on the form of a servant. Jesus “humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” (Philippians 2:8). Death on a Roman cross was the worst form of humiliation and shame.
Today, a primary reason people praise “servant leadership” as a virtue is because of Jesus. Humility wasn’t a Greek or Roman virtue. Because Jesus died on the cross for us, He’s the true Servant. He’s the true Savior.
Christ became a servant in order to save us. He “made himself nothing” (v. 7) so that we could receive something truly great—the gift of salvation and eternal life.
