Are You Living In Reality?

… but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
(Philippians 2:7, NASB)

Good Morning!

There is a place to view the city a short distance from our home. As we make our way along the road, through the hills, we come to a plateau which provides a panoramic perspective. In the dark of the night, the city lights are displayed as far as the eye can be seen from our perch. And yet . . . beyond our view there is an unseen reality . . . the people who live within the city.

Do they live in Reality?

The book of Philippians provides a view of the Reality of Life.

But emptied Himself:
Christ chose to reveal Himself in humanity rather than deity; however, Christ retained His divine nature. He emptied Himself to fill the mind, soul, and body of humanity, making humanity new and whole. He is Reality. Living in Reality turns humanity upside down. In Reality all things are possible.

Taking the form of a bond-servant:
Christ took on the form of a bond-servant for humanity. He came to earth as a servant to liberate humanity. Humanity’s freedom through Christ forms a new song and dance within our being. Today is a new day of liberation in Reality!

And being made in the likeness of men:
Christ Jesus became like humanity to transform humanity. He understands humanity’s limitations. In Reality, humanity is released to live beyond what the human mind can think, ask or imagine!

Are you living in Reality?
Remember all things are possible in Reality.
Live in the freedom of Reality today.
Live beyond humanity's limitations through Reality.
Live in Reality.

Learning with you to live fully in Reality,
