Sermon Outline:
Philippians 2:5–11 (NKJV)
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I What He has always been
II Then He became
III And He humbled himself even unto death
IV And then He was very highly exalted

God, the same in substance, equal in power and
glory.

Q. 22 How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?
Christ, the Son of God, became man, by taking to himself a
true body, and a reasonable soul, being conceived by the
power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary,
and born of her, yet without sin.
