Title: Unexpected King in Humility

Outline:

I.   Unexpected Lowering (vv. 5-7)

II.  Unexpected Obedience (v. 8)

III. Unlimited Exaltation (vv. 9-11)

Application questions:

1. How does Jesus' humility challenge the way you think about power, status, or influence?
2. In what ways have you experienced Jesus coming into your life in unexpected ways? How did you respond?
3. How might you "empty yourself" in service to others this Advent season? Who is God calling you to serve?
4. Knowing that "every knee will bow" and "every tongue will confess" Jesus as Lord, how does this truth impact the way you live today?
5. Pray for your upcoming Christmas gatherings that you would show the humility of Christ and that you can share what Christmas is all about: Jesus
