I Want to Be Like Jesus
Album: Doulos
Written by: Brad Eberly
Song description: One of my favorite passages of scripture in Philippians chapter 2. There we see what scholars have called the “Philippian Hymn”. It describes the fact that the almighty God, Jesus Himself, humbled Himself and took on human flesh and became “obedient” even to the point of dying the death of a criminal so that we might receive forgiveness and find fellowship with God. As Believers, we are called to emulate Christ. The starting place for that is humility, knowing our need of God and allowing Him to establish His character in us. Curiously enough, that is also the ending place. This song is both a statement of intent and of faith because such humility is a life long pursuit that is contrary to our human nature.
