Inspired by the Godman

I am continually inspired by the life that Jesus Christ led. He is so many things to so many people. He is God manifested in the flesh of man. He is....the "Godman".
In today's carnal world where it seems so easy to serve our selfish desires, we need only look to God's word for inspiration. God's word is something far beyond just mere ink on a page, it is the spiritual gateway in getting to know Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart".
For several weeks now my spirit has been continually touched by one verse which speaks to the power of God's word and how it supernaturally ministers to your heart.
Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God".
Jesus Christ is God. Through the Holy Spirit, Paul is teaching us that even though Jesus Christ was divinity and man at the same time, he did not take advantage of the privileges that are associated with being God. Instead, he relinquished his privilege and humbled himself as a man.
Philippians 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross".
Jesus Christ was the greatest servant of all time. He chose to die on the cross as a man, and through his resurrection and ascension, he provided us with a life of freedom. He allowed himself nothing and in doing so gave us everything. He is my inspiration. He is my salvation. He is....the "Godman".
