Worship is sacrifice
Worship is sacrifice and sacrifice is worship. The Mind of Christ is sacrifice. Apostle Paul says in
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Jesus always put on the Mind of God His Father and likewise we are advised to put on the mind of Christ. Yes very truly the Mind of Christ is sacrifice. Look at the verses of Philippians 2:7-8
We see the mind of Christ very clearly that He made Himself of no reputation, meaning He considered Himself as nothing totally zero. What a mind Christ put in on Him. The verse says in Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: He was God, in the form of Man did not thought to be a robbery to be equal with God. Even though He was in the form of God He humbled Himself and sacrificed His life as an obedient servant of God to the point of death.
The cross was His daily passion while on earth as He daily developed as a sweet smelling sacrifice to His God His Father. Therefore every time He came to His Father God He poured His life as a living sacrifice as His worship.
We look through out the Gospel that He was a perfect living sacrificial lamb of God an perfect example for us to follow His path to the Father God in heaven. He was always saying I do my Father’s Will. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place even to His right hand as we see in Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
So dear brothers and sisters let us purge ourselves from everything that separates us from God as Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
Praise be to God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
