Summary
When Jesus Christ, the second member of the Trinity, walked this earth, remember one God, three persons, father son, Holy Spirit, when the second member of the Trinity, walked this earth, did Jesus Christ conceal something? So the exhortation is giving have the same mind and then Paul goes into a succinct, but profoundly deep description of the second member of the Trinity, the Lord Jesus Christ. And the prevalent view was that when the second member of the Trinity came to earth, Jesus Christ emptied Himself of His divinity so that He was no longer God. For the most part, when Jesus walked the earth prior to the cross, for the most part, Jesus concealed His glory. Right after it says, or chapter 2, right after it says verse 7, but He emptied Himself. Just as Jesus is the essential reality of divine, He is also the essential reality, same word of being human, true God and true man.
