[3274.14 --> 3276.06] did not consider equality with God
[3276.06 --> 3278.12] something to be used for his own advantage.
[3278.78 --> 3279.04] Rather,
[3279.26 --> 3280.68] he made himself nothing
[3280.68 --> 3283.20] by taking on the very nature of a slave,
[3283.58 --> 3286.02] being made in human likeness.
[3286.02 --> 3288.36] And being found in appearance as a man,
[3288.46 --> 3289.56] he humbled himself
[3289.56 --> 3292.52] by becoming obedient unto death.
[3292.68 --> 3294.48] Even death on the cross.
[3294.60 --> 3294.82] And then,
[3295.16 --> 3295.84] hear this word,
[3296.40 --> 3297.02] therefore.
[3299.56 --> 3301.90] God exalted him to the highest place
[3301.90 --> 3302.88] and gave him the name
[3302.88 --> 3304.80] that is above every name.
[3305.72 --> 3306.42] Now hear that, right?
[3306.54 --> 3308.64] He became obedient unto death.
[3308.64 --> 3309.92] Even death on a cross.
[3310.10 --> 3310.88] And therefore,
[3311.40 --> 3311.56] right?
[3311.64 --> 3312.02] Therefore,
[3312.02 --> 3313.82] because of that,
[3314.18 --> 3315.42] God exalted him
[3315.42 --> 3316.64] to the highest place.
[3317.36 --> 3318.92] The glory of the cross
[3318.92 --> 3320.34] is the road
[3320.34 --> 3321.74] to the glory of the crown.
[3322.54 --> 3324.88] The cross precedes the crown.
[3325.02 --> 3326.12] There is no resurrection
[3326.12 --> 3327.26] without the cross.
[3327.40 --> 3328.62] There is no exaltation
[3328.62 --> 3329.50] without the cross.
[3329.62 --> 3331.36] There is no seated at the right hand
[3331.36 --> 3332.44] of God the Father Almighty
[3332.44 --> 3333.54] without the cross.
[3333.66 --> 3335.84] There is no celestial city come down
[3335.84 --> 3337.14] without the cross.
[3337.14 --> 3338.76] The glory of the cross
[3338.76 --> 3340.92] precedes the glory of the crown.
[3342.06 --> 3344.10] And you shouldn't be surprised
[3344.10 --> 3346.26] that it's the same way for you.
[3349.30 --> 3349.92] And yeah,
[3350.22 --> 3352.02] real talk for a moment, right?
[3352.26 --> 3353.38] Most of us
[3353.38 --> 3355.08] want the glory of the crown
[3355.08 --> 3357.88] without the cross.
[3359.52 --> 3360.04] Right?
[3360.04 --> 3365.20] We want the whole rich reward
[3365.20 --> 3367.38] without counting the cost.
[3368.12 --> 3370.30] We want the transformed life
[3370.30 --> 3371.62] of abundance and prosperity
[3371.62 --> 3372.92] without the death
[3372.92 --> 3375.12] that must come first.
[3376.34 --> 3377.90] But the glory of the cross
[3377.90 --> 3378.88] is what brings
[3378.88 --> 3380.00] the glory of the crown.
[3381.56 --> 3382.76] Let me be really clear
[3382.76 --> 3383.48] about this, right?
[3383.60 --> 3384.42] As Christians,
[3384.68 --> 3387.12] we are living in hope.
[3387.26 --> 3388.98] We have a living hope.
[3388.98 --> 3389.72] As Christians,
[3389.88 --> 3390.74] there is a peace
[3390.74 --> 3391.76] that surpasses
[3391.76 --> 3392.96] all understanding.
[3393.36 --> 3393.88] As Christians,
[3394.02 --> 3395.16] we know and believe
[3395.16 --> 3396.28] that there is a blessing
[3396.28 --> 3397.90] that is waiting for you
[3397.90 --> 3398.82] from God.
[3399.26 --> 3399.62] But,
[3400.66 --> 3401.72] it is not
[3401.72 --> 3403.84] your best life now.
[3405.22 --> 3405.98] It is not
[3405.98 --> 3408.54] the word of faith movement,
[3408.80 --> 3410.58] the name it and claim it idea
[3410.58 --> 3412.12] of the new prosperity gospel.
[3412.56 --> 3413.36] It is not
[3413.36 --> 3414.12] the idea
[3414.12 --> 3414.76] that Jesus
[3414.76 --> 3416.20] just wants to reveal
[3416.20 --> 3417.06] what's been hiding
[3417.06 --> 3417.86] inside of you
[3417.86 --> 3418.74] all along.
[3418.98 --> 3421.06] the crown
[3421.06 --> 3422.14] comes
[3422.14 --> 3423.72] at the cross
[3423.72 --> 3425.34] and with the cross.
[3426.30 --> 3427.32] If you are
[3427.32 --> 3428.12] insulted
[3428.12 --> 3429.20] because of the name
[3429.20 --> 3429.66] of Christ,
[3429.82 --> 3430.86] you are blessed
[3430.86 --> 3431.86] for the spirit
[3431.86 --> 3432.40] of glory
[3432.40 --> 3433.02] and of God
[3433.02 --> 3434.22] rests on you.
[3434.38 --> 3435.66] The same spirit
[3435.66 --> 3436.46] of glory
