Throughout the bible we learn a lot about Jesus and his messages. He is a teacher‚ provider‚ and so much more. In Philippians 2:1-11 we are confirmed in our knowledge that Jesus is humble and kind.

The book of Philippians chapter 2 from verses 1 – 11 gives us a clearer view on how we can reflect Christ’s example as believers. Paul begins the exhortation by asking the questions in verse 1 “if there be therefore any consolation in Christ‚ If any comfort of Love‚ if any fellowship of the spirit‚ if any bowels and mercies.” The ‘if’ stands as a condition.
