Philippians 2: 5 - 11 | |
| 5 | Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, |
| 6 | who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, |
| 7 | but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. |
| 8 | And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. |
| 9 | Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, |
| 10 | that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, |
| 11 | and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
| Psalms 22:
26 - 32
| |
| 26 | The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live for ever! |
| 27 | All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him. |
| 28 | For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. |
| 29 | Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive. |
| 30 | Posterity shall serve him; men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation, |
| 31 | and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, that he has wrought it. |
| Luke 14: 15
- 24

| 15 | When one of those who sat at table with him heard this, he said to him, "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!" |
| 16 | But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet, and invited many; |
| 17 | and at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, `Come; for all is now ready.' |
| 18 | But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, `I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it; I pray you, have me excused.' |
| 19 | And another said, `I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them; I pray you, have me excused.' |
| 20 | And another said, `I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' |
| 21 | So the servant came and reported this to his master. Then the householder in anger said to his servant, `Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame.' |
| 22 | And the servant said, `Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.' |
| 23 | And the master said to the servant, `Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. |
| 24 | For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.'" |
