The Christ of Christmas - Part 2 | Philippians 2:5-11 | Pastor John Miller

December 18, 2025
In this conclusion to our study of the "Kenosis" passage, Pastor John Miller explores the glorious transition from Christ’s humiliation to His super-exaltation. While Part 1 focused on the mind of the Son in His descent to the Cross, Part 2 examines the mind of the Father in exalting the Son to the highest place in heaven.
Discover the three steps of Christ’s exaltation—His resurrection, ascension, and coronation—and why the name "Lord" (Kurios) stands as the name above every name. Pastor John reminds us that the ultimate purpose of this divine movement is the glory of God the Father, and that the same principle applies to the believer: humility always precedes honor.
In this study, you will discover:
- The Source of Exaltation: Why God the Father responded to the Son’s humble submission with super-exaltation.
- The Essential Trinity: Why a right understanding of Christmas requires a right understanding of the Triune Godhead.
- Resurrection, Ascension, & Coronation: Breaking down the chronological stages of Jesus’ return to glory.
- The God-Man in Heaven: The mind-blowing reality that Deity is fused with humanity for all eternity.
- The Universal Confession: Why every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will one day bow to the Lordship of Jesus.
