1. THE REQUIREMENTS TO JESUS BEING WITH US.
“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as
Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider
equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a
servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in
appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to
death—even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:5-8
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning….The
Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”John 1:1, 14
2. THE REASON BEHIND JESUS BEING WITH US.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
3. THE RESULTS OF JESUS BEING WITH US.
Jesus Came To Live For Us.
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize
with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted
in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.” Heb. 4:15
Jesus Came To Die For Us.
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
