MatinsGod's Chosen One
There shall come forth a shoot
from the stump of Jesse:
and a branch shall grow out of its roots,
and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him:
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might:
the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
New Testament Reading - The name above every name
3Don’t be selfish; don’t live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. 4Don’t just think about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they are doing.
5Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus Christ, 6who, though he was God, did not demand and cling to his rights as God, 7but laid aside his mighty power and glory, taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men.a 8And he humbled himself even further, going so far as actually to die a criminal’s death on a cross.b
9Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
. . . . . Philippians 2:3-11- Literally, “made in the likeness of men.”
- literally, “became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.”
