The
whole of the scriptures is expressed in Philippians 2:5-11 and if all we had
was this ancient creedal hymn it would be enough to reveal the mind of the
Divine. In Jesus it is God who is emptied into all of humanity and in servant
form suffers a dreadful death designed by the children created in God’s own image.
How is it possible that the church has such a sordid history of not finding any
consolation in this expression of ultimate love, no compassion, no sympathy, demanding
like minds be bound by hard cover catechisms where right belief matters more
than loving fellow believers, let alone the world Jesus died to save? The
promise is every knee will bow and every tongue confess that the Jesus emptied,
serving, suffering and dying for creatures who could care less was what God was
about all along. Being of like mind means be like Jesus who never met a sinner
he didn’t love to death.
