A Gospel Parable From the Table

I. Jesus' Act of Humiliation

II. Jesus' Gospel Parable

o He rose from the table & laid aside His outer garments (4a; Phil. 2:5-6a)

o … taking a towel, tied it around His waist (4b; Phil. 2:6b-7)

o … washed His disciple's feet (5-10; Phil. 2:8)

o He resumed His place (12; Phil. 2:9-11)

III. Jesus' Example for You (12-17)
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus …--Phil. 2:3-5
