"Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross." --Philippians 2:5-8 (NLT) "Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil. For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry." --Matthew 4:1-2 (NLT) "At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him." --John 6:66 (NLT) "For even his brothers didn't believe in him." --John 7:5 (NLT) "When they heard this, the people in the synagogue were furious. Jumping up, they mobbed him and took him to the edge of the hill on which the city was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, but he slipped away through the crowd and left them." --Luke 4:28-30 (NLT) "At that point they picked up stones to kill him. But Jesus hid himself from them and left the Temple." --John 8:59 (NLT) "Once again the Jewish leaders picked up stones to kill him." --John 10:31 (NLT) |
