The Humility of Christmas


Day One:

Incarnation: Look this word up in the dictionary or click the link.

Write down the definition that describes what Christ did for us.

Read Philippians 2:1-11 three times.

Answer these questions:

1)Who wrote this book?

2)Who was he writing to?

3) How does he say that his joy will be made complete?

4)How does the word incarnation relate to this passage. List the verses and write the specific phrases that refer to this word, Incarnation.


Day two:

Read Phil. 2:1-11 again, three times. Memorize verse 3.

1) What did Christ leave behind when he took on the incarnation (verse6)?

2) What can you leave behind to take on your own humility?

3) What does verse 6 say Christ made himself?

4) What will be the outcome of Christ's acts of humility? (verse 9)



Day three:

Listen to this sermon excerpt from John Piper (very short).

What is the point of being born again?

What happens when you are born again?

Can you be born again without the incarnation of Christ?

Why is it so important to know about Christmas?


Day four: Read Phil. 2:1-11 and John chapter 1.

Listen to this sermon excerpt from John Piper (very short).

What should be the outcome of meditating on Philippians and John?

How are you going to demonstrate this to the people around you?

Pray and ask God to help you keep the magnificence of Christ's incarnation first in your heart today and at Christmas.



Have a Very Merry Christmas as you praise The Lord for the real reason Christ came.
