Michael Wohlfarth’s wife, a cultural and theater scientist, reflects on the significance of a sermon based on Philippians 2:5-11. She emphasizes the importance of being Christlike and laments the societal struggle to tolerate the tensions that such texts evoke. Wohlfarth highlights the need for dialogue with the Lord to find freedom and discipline without external policing. He concludes by expressing gratitude for the inclusion of kings in religious songs despite their fallibility. This reflection encompasses the Berlin Palace and the Philippians‘ reference in the New Testament.
