Speaking from Philippians 2, the text where Paul write how Jesus "emptied himself," Ronnie uses this episode to talk about "having the attitude of Christ," with is the true essence of being a follower of Jesus. Ronnie says:
"Was Jesus a culture warrior? No. Was he a violent revolutionary? No. Was he a retreatist? No. Was he motivated by fear? No. Was he greedy, driven by money? No. Was he obsessed with power - making or forcing others to do as he wanted them to do? No. That’s not who he was; not how he thought of himself. These were not his attitudes...In Jesus there was an unselfishness, a drive to serve, a sacrificial motivation at his core. And we who bear his name, would do well not to forget that, for we must bear that same quality. The essence of “being like Jesus,” is consistently an emptying, a surrendering. It is loving service.
