The sermon yesterday was an exposition of Philippians 2:1–13. In this passage, Paul commands the Philippians to put off selfish ambition and conceitedness-- two things that would destroy the unity Paul sought for the Philippians in Philippians 1:27–30-- and to instead share the same attitude, the same love, and humbly consider others as more important than one's own interests.
Perhaps for the purpose of motivation, or perhaps for instructional purposes, Paul points to the ministry of Jesus as the example they should follow. In six sweeping verses, Paul moves from a picture of Jesus at the beginning of time to a picture of Jesus at the end of time; however, it's the middle verses that highlight the selfless, sacrificial service that Christ performed on behalf of those he would redeem. The following diagram-- my personal adaptation of the diagram formed in the ESV Study Bible-- illustrates the movement of Jesus from the glories of heaven to the agonies of earth to his final exaltation by the Father.

Please excuse the mild pixelation and formatting issues that arose when I posted online. The diagram did not translated as smoothly as I had hoped.
