Show Notes

Ultimately, our purpose is to look like, act like, and live like Jesus. We are urged to set our eyes on Him, and His example. His greatest example for us is outlined in the ancient hymn held for us in Philippians 2, in which we are urged to consider others as more important than ourselves. Then we are shown the amazing example of Jesus who, with every right to claim first place in the universe, instead takes on the form of the last place. And so we endeavor to, in the very least, live in 2nd place.

The apostle Paul unpacks what this looks like throughout his letters, but especially in Colossians 3 in a text often read over newly baptized believers as a roadmap for their new life.
