Quote of the Day – “These statements indicate that Christ became a man, a true human being. The words “made Himself nothing” are, literally, “He emptied Himself.” “Emptied,” from the Greek kenoō, points to the divesting of His self-interests, but not of His deity. “The very nature of a servant” certainly points to His lowly and humble position, His willingness to obey the Father, and serve others. He became a man, a true human being. “Likeness” suggests similarity but difference. Though His humanity was genuine, He was different from all other humans in that He was sinless” – Dr. Robert P. Lightner in the Bible Knowledge Commentary

Quote of the Day – “Verses 6-8 take on a greater significance when cited in Hebrews 10:5-7 where the writer contrasted Christ’s perfect obedience with the insufficiency of the Mosaic sacrifices. The words are applied to Christ’s Incarnation to fulfill God’s purpose for Him as prescribed in the book.” – Dr. Allen P. Ross in The Bible Knowledge Commentary
