Have The Mind of Christ
Phil. 2:1-11
Apostle Paul encouraged us to have the mind of Christ…Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God; but humbled Himself and became obedient unto death. Jesus Christ was humble, willing to give up His rights in order to obey God and serve mankind (people). We also must serve out of love for God and for others even when we are not likely to get recognition for our efforts. Nothing should be done out of rivalry or out of unhealthy competition because such will generate strife and will not attract any divine approval. Learn and imbibe the way Jesus acted towards us according to this passage. He emptied Himself and gave up His divine deity. He humbled Himself to become man and a servant (vv. 6-7). He was obedient to the point of death and died a cruelsome death because of you. Having the mind of Christ is to your advantage, crave for it.
Point of Emphasis: The mind of Christ epitomizes humility, sacrificial giving and self-emptiness.
Prayer Point: Lord, let my will be lost in Your will.
