Jesus Christ is above all things and before all things, yet He demonstrated the truest form of humility by taking on human likeness and offering His life up for the redemption of His creation. Paul unpacked these parts of Jesus’s identity in his letters to the churches in Philippi and Colossae, instructing the believers on how to imitate Christ in every aspect of life. Believers are encouraged to keep straining toward Christ, knowing that following Jesus is worth whatever cost it requires of us. Join us in this four-week study of Philippians and Colossians to discover endless ways our Lord and Savior is worthy of our praise. For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
