Now search only shows results for hymns, topical guide, and bible dictionary, or it shows results for articles not downloaded yet, but it shows NO RESULTS for scriptures. I have come to rely on the power of this app to find all references to a keyword in every downloaded document on my device. Search has either been severely hampered, or it’s broken. I can’t be the only person confused by this change. I find this change in search behavior more complicated and less intuitive than before because the new contextual shortcuts appear to be search results. The release notes don’t even address this change in behavior. Changing app behavior like this is incredibly confusing. This pop up info is what has been introduced with this version. However, if you tap on return, the true search completes.

When you type a search keyword, the results that pop up are as I stated: hymns, topical guide, and dictionary. By living for us, dying for us, and rising for us, Jesus not only reveals true humanness to us-he shows us what God’s deity fundamentally amounts to.I’ll leave my original review as it stands. In other words, if we want to understand what Jesus the Son’s equality with God the Father really means-what it looks like when it’s translated into the form of a human life-then we should look to that tiny baby on Mary’s breast, that forlorn figure on the cross of Calvary, and that tenderhearted gardener who speaks peace to his friends that first Easter morning. The latter reveals or explains what the former is really all about, and it turns out that God’s character is self-giving love “all the way down,” so to speak. And there’s obviously much truth in that way of interpreting Paul’s words, which underscores for us the cost God agreed to pay in order to draw near to us.īut in the second way of reading Paul’s hymn, there’s something mysteriously congruent between the eternal splendor of God’s Son and his voluntary self-abnegation in the Incarnation. The former is understood in spite of the latter. In the first way of reading it, there’s something fundamentally incommensurate between the Son of God’s glory and his self-emptying. Paul might easily have meant something subtly different: because he was in the form of God, therefore Jesus emptied himself. But the original language is ambiguous, and it’s possible to translate it differently, leaving out the contrastive connector though. That’s a plausible interpretation of Paul’s words, certainly. Despite sharing equality with God the Father, nevertheless Jesus the Son chose to give up that status for us. The little word though in most English translations has been the vital clue for this interpretation: “ though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness” (vv. This way of reading Philippians 2 emphasizes the mismatch between the Son’s pre-incarnate glory and the humiliation he underwent during his earthly life. One common way of understanding the beautiful hymn of praise to Jesus Christ in Philippians 2:5–11 is that it shows us an utterly incomprehensible paradox: The mighty Son of God, who, together with his Father, brought creation into being, subsequently deigned to become a lowly human being-the equivalent of a powerful monarch being reduced to a scuttling beetle. And we celebrate the good news of great joy for all people! We learn lessons of faith from the people whom God chose to play a part in these events.

This week, we step into the events of the Nativity and consider the miracle of the eternal Word entering the world as a human child.
