In order to understand today’s Gospel, we can best see it in light of the second reading. St. Paul is teaching us who Jesus is and the first thing we learn is that although he was in the form of God, he did not see equality with God as something to be grasped at. Instead, he took the form of a slave. He became totally obedient to the father and in doing so he lived the law perfectly. The reason is because of his love for the Father and his love for us.
