Major Ian Thomas emphasizes that true commitment is found in Jesus Christ, who exemplified perfect commitment to the Father, focusing solely on what the Father was committed to in Him. He clarifies that Christ was not swayed by the political or social issues of His time, nor is He aligned with any contemporary factions, but rather, His commitment was exclusively to the will of the Father. Thomas urges believers to understand that their commitment should mirror Christ's, being directed solely towards Him and His purposes, rather than being tied to organizations or societal needs.

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the contrast between human selfishness and the selfless love exemplified by Jesus Christ. He argues that society is inherently self-serving, and attempts to create a selfless community often fail due to human nature. However, with Christ's arrival, a new motive for living emerged, symbolized by the cross, which calls for a life devoted to God and the welfare of others. Tozer highlights that true fulfillment comes from living a God-centered and others-centered life, as demonstrated by Christ's own example of service and sacrifice. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to embrace this radical shift in perspective and conduct.

Theodore Epp emphasizes that Jesus, though equal with God, willingly set aside His rights to express His divine attributes during His earthly ministry to become the Savior of the world. He highlights the distinction between being humiliated and choosing to humble oneself, noting that Jesus voluntarily took a lower position out of love for humanity. Epp encourages believers to adopt the same attitude of humility, as the Bible teaches the importance of esteeming others above oneself and the grace given to the humble. The sermon draws on key scriptures that illustrate the contrast between pride and humility, urging Christians to follow Christ's example.

K.P. Yohannan emphasizes the importance of humility by reflecting on Christ's example of selflessness and servitude. He urges believers to recognize that every challenge is an opportunity to cultivate a humble spirit, mirroring Jesus' humility in our interactions with others. Yohannan warns against using humility as a means for personal gain, highlighting that true humility allows Christ's life to be perfected within us. He contrasts the destructive nature of pride, which leads to spiritual downfall, with the redemptive power of Christ's humility demonstrated through His sacrifice. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a daily commitment to decrease ourselves so that Christ may increase in our lives.
