The Kenosis Of Jesus Christ

Apr 2, 2025    Pastor Chad Thompson

Philippians 2 describes the great humiliation of Jesus, His becoming a servant to serve our greatest need - salvation. Theologically, Paul describes Jesus' kenosis. The word kenosis speaks of the emptying of Jesus of his glory and majesty. Jesus was not, however, emptied of His deity. His kenosis is revealed in His coming from the infinite heights of glory to the infinite depths of hell so that we could be saved, delivered from sin and death, and reconciled unto God the Father.
