Last summer, my daughter and her SCSC partner were Team Nothing. Their team verses were from today's passage (v. 5-7a). Their first team letter explained the reasoning behind their name: "Our verse says that Christ made himself nothing; so being nothing for Christ is taking our verse into practice. Being nothing is being a servant, being humble, and being completely at the mercy of a God that we put all faith and praise in. Being nothing is putting your heart into the position where we become the clay, and completely allow God to work on us, to mold us into perfect pots to better serve him. To our team, that is nothing." I couldn't have said it better.
