Read: Philippians 2:6-119
In the text, it discusses some of the ways in which Jesus sacrificed himself to make life better for all whom he knew, as well as time for those who came after him. For example, he was working all the time and caring for those who were in need while at the same time watching out for all mankind.
Ultimately, Jesus was put to death on the cross as punishment for his acts, although that is not how it is perceived by me. Whenever I think of Jesus dying od the cross, I think of a man who took self well being as second nature, but instead made sure that all others lived the best possible lives - for example, the breaking of bread and sharing of the wine among thousands of people. It is for these reasons, along with many others, that I proclaim Jesus the Christ as my Lord and Savior.
