Christ Jesus
“Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:5-9).
Dr. Thomas Alexander Lambie (1885-1955), went to Ethiopia as a medical missionary. After some time he wanted to buy land for a mission station. An Ethiopian law said that no land could be sold to foreigners. Because Dr. Lambie had great love for Christ and the Ethiopians, he gave up his American citizenship and became an Ethiopian citizen. Then he bought the property needed for his work.
The United States, glad to honor him because of his great work in Ethiopia, restored his American citizenship.
This account is just a feeble picture of what we have in the above Scriptures concerning the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
