Found Schematics in Philippians

October 3, 2014

Jesus was “found in schemati (fashion, likeness) as a man” (Philippians 2:7); Paul looks to be “found in Him” (3:9), who will “re-schematize” (metaschematizo) our body to be like His own (3:21). Jesus was found to be in the schema of man; Paul wants to be found in the schema of the New Man.

The exaltation of the resurrected Messiah is to the glory (doxa) of God the Father (2:11). When we are re-schematized to share in the Messiah’s body of glory (doxa), it is the glory of the Father.
