Week 28 - Read­ing 3 

“He obeyed God and even died on a cross.”

Christ was tru­ly God.
But he did not try to remain
    equal with God.
He gave up every­thing
    and became a slave,
when he became
    like one of us.

Christ was hum­ble.
He obeyed God and even died
    on a cross.
Then God gave Christ
    the high­est place
and hon­ored his name
    above all others.

So at the name of Jesus
    every­one will bow down,
those in heav­en, on earth,
    and under the earth.
And to the glo­ry
    of God the Father
every­one will open­ly agree,
    “Jesus Christ is Lord!”
