Christ Jesus Made Himself of No Reputation

This sermon explores the theological depth of the Lord's Supper by examining the incarnation and crucifixion of Christ through the lens of Philippians 2. It argues that the significance of Christ's death is inextricably linked to His prior voluntary self-emptying, where He assumed the form of a servant and the likeness of men to become a perfect mediator. The text emphasizes that this humiliation was necessary for Christ to fully identify with human suffering and to satisfy the divine requirement for sin's penalty, which must be paid in the flesh. By highlighting the substitutionary nature of His death, the sermon calls believers to recognize the magnitude of God's love manifested in the cross, urging a renewed sense of worship and remembrance that counters the natural forgetfulness of the human heart.
