Put On Meekness Like Christ
Phil. 2:5-11
Jesus Christ was fully aware of His being part of the God-head, but did not consider that as something He should be preoccupied with. He was willing to follow God’s salvation plan. Even when the terror of the impending crucifixion came upon Him, He readily yielded to God’s will. He meekly went to the cross without cursing the people who crucified Him. Many in the church do not have this spirit of meekness; the ministers find the congregation members behaving like stubborn goats and not like meek sheep. Such stubborn spirit draws people away from obeying instructions that will make them grow in the knowledge of God. We are enjoined to have the spirit of meekness that Jesus Christ demonstrated on earth. Only those who possess the mind of Christ can hope for such exaltation given to Him.
POINT OF EMPHASIS: Let the mind of meekness that was in Jesus Christ be in you.
PRAYER POINT: I receive the spirit of meekness that I may be able to obey God more readily.
