Bible Question: Jesus thought it not robbery to be equal with God? I need someone to expound on this passage found in Phil 2:6. |
Bible Answer: Hi humility, very interesting, I can only give you what some commentators have to say. First, the study note in my Ryrie Study Bible, KJV copyright 1976,78. Under Phil 2:6, Ryrie says about 'not robbery', The verse may be paraphrased: Who, though the same nature of God, did not think this something to be exploited to His own advantage. According to David Guzik, "The idea behind this is that the pre-incarnate Christ already possessed equality with the Father and resolved not to cling to it in the incarnation." and, "The ancient Greek in this phrase has the idea of something being grasped or clung to. Jesus did not cling to the prerogatives of deity." And here is something from Matthew Henry, in an unrelated verse that applies quite well, "Observe the vast extent of the kingdom of Christ; it reaches to heaven and earth, and to all the creatures in each, to angels as well as men, and to the dead as well as the living.—To the glory of God the Father. Observe, It is to the glory of God the Father to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; for it is his will that all men should honour the Son as they honour the Father, Jn. 5:23. Whatever respect is paid to Christ redounds to the honour of the Father. He who receiveth me receiveth him who sent me, Mt. 10:40." blessings, keliy |
