Philippians 2:8

[rookie]

Have you ever had some moments when you read something over and over, and you know the verse inside and out.

I praise God for this verse, it just hit me today, that in a sense, Christ didn't have to die, since He never sinned. But because He was obedient, He did...

Praise God He died!!!! And to the point of satisfaction, that He was resurrected again!!!

The very heart of the Gospel my friend. That "...while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Ray,

I have had a lot such experiences in my reading of the Bible. I just recently read Philippians, and usually I'd just run through the "greetings part" without realizing what a great promise it is revealing to us:

"Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ." (1:1-2)

Ahh, that gave rest to my soul!
