"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied Himself of His privileges, taking the form of a bondservant...." (Philippians 2:5-6c)
Jesus, "emptied Himself of His privileges, taking the form of a bondservant...." This made Him no less King and Savior, no less God revealed in human flesh.
You and I, then, should not be hesitant to embrace, "Let this mind be in you...." We are still, "heirs of God," and we can still sing, "I am a friend of God." We are just "emptied" heirs and friends.
Father, in Jesus' Name, by Your grace, help me to walk in, "emptied himself." Amen.
