Philippians
2:5-11 is what we would call a hymn in today’s world. In the first
century, it was probably
more like a chant accompanied by a harp or lyre. It could be titled, “Be
Like Christ.” We
can only imagine that written in Hellenistic Greek, these verses would take on
a melodious sound
with rhyme, rhythm, and cadence.
So
are our lives....In our time and our culture, our lives take on their own
melody, rhythm and cadence.
Our constant care is to “sing” in harmony with Christ.
Our
prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, while we
know it will never be something we can fully attain, help us to strive each
day, with your help and grace, in thought, word, and deed to “be like Christ”. Only then can we experience true joy of
following Him. Amen.
