You heard the man: ""Never forget it!" Nothing extreme about that.

In the years before I left the LC, whenever I came across Philippians 2:5-6 it always disturbed me how much it contradicted this "proud to be a God-man" spirit that seemed to be pervaded every other church meeting.
Philippians 2:5-6
"
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to."
I'm thankful that Jesus emphasized our identity as sons of God, highlighting our relationship to God as our Father and we as his children. Even humanly speaking I'm sure most people would rather be known as the sons of their father as in many middle eastern cultures, rather than being labeled as a member of a species such as homosapien.
