Philippians 2:4-11

Jesus is the reason we look to the interests of others.

  1.  Jesus empowers us to look to the interests of others (v. 5).
  2. Jesus is our example of how to look to the interests of others (v. 6-8).
  3. Jesus returning is our motivation to look to the interests of others (v. 9-11).

“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!'”—Abraham Kuyper

Application Questions:

  1. In what area(s) of my life do I need to grow in looking to the interests of others?
  2. How does our union with Christ transform the way we obey God?
  3. What are some ways that we can practically remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus to help us look to the interests of others?
