This study aims to analyze the meaning of kenosis in Philippians 2:5–11 and its implications for character transformation in Christian Religious Education (CRE). This qualitative study employs library research, textual exegesis, and theological and pedagogical analysis. The findings show that kenosis does not mean the loss of Christ’s divinity, but His voluntary self-humbling, assumption of the form of a servant, and obedience unto death on the cross. This concept provides a foundation for CRE to develop education that focuses not only on knowledge but also on character formation. Three pedagogical principles emerge: humility as a learning orientation, obedience as character discipline, and service as the goal of Christian education. Thus, kenosis can serve as a transformative paradigm in CRE by connecting Christological understanding with students’ character formation.
