Philippians 2:8
King James Version
8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
You know you're on GOD's side, the day you truly become humble.
The LORD JESUS showed us how.
His cross signified such love, obedience, suffering, and humility.
In stark contrast to the enemy.
Proverbs 16:18
King James Version
18 Pride goeth before destruction,
and an haughty spirit before a fall.
What the enemy didn't know is the POWER of the CROSS.
How JESUS conquered death.
Hebrews 2:14
King James Version
14 Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death
he might destroy him
that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
But how could the enemy know?
He challenged God's power.
1 Corinthians 2:7-8
King James Version
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
even the hidden wisdom,
which God ordained before the world
unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew:
for had they known it,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Can you imagine the enemy's rage, at having been defeated at the cross?
Where they thought they had destroyed JESUS forever.
Only to find, the SON of GOD, the SAVIOR, had defeated both the enemy, and death.
Romans 5:19
King James Version
19 For as by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners,
so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous.
Only through GOD's infinite love, and wisdom, is this possible.
1 Corinthians 15:57
King James Version
57 But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
GOD had to send His SON, to save the weak, the weakened, and the ungodly.
Romans 5:6
King James Version
6 For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Do you think, the GIFT ends there?
