Social justice and inclusive theology
How does the Gospel call us to justice?
Christ's kenosis models solidarity with the marginalized. He "emptied himself" and took the form of a slave—identifying with the lowest. The exalted one chose the path of the despised. This grounds Christian commitment to the oppressed.
God enters history as a slave
The lowest path is Christ's path
Solidarity with the oppressed is Christlike
μορφῇ refers to essential nature, not mere appearance
ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν (emptied himself) is kenosis doctrine foundation
κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Lord Jesus Christ) in v.11 echoes YHWH in Isaiah 45:23
