How we rationalize ours
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But
made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was made in the likeness of men:And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross.Wherefore God also hath highly
exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father.

his friends and neighbours, saying unto them,
Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep
which was lost. Luke 15:3-6

with him? Peter then denied again: and
