Yesterday we looked at one of the clearest pictures of the mindset of Jesus in all of Scripture: Philippians 2:5–11.
Paul tells us that Jesus, though fully God, did not use His position for His own advantage. Instead, He humbled Himself, took the form of a servant, and became obedient even to death on a cross.
That changes everything. It's not only amazing because of our personal salvation, but it also greatly impacts how we live with one another. The cross is where Jesus saved us, but it is also where He showed us what self-giving love looks like.
That means the Christian life is not about asking, “What am I getting from this church?” It is about asking, “How can I love, serve, and give myself for these people?”
Unity grows when a church becomes more captivated by Jesus and more shaped by His humility, obedience, and self-giving love. The more clearly we see Him, the more faithfully we will begin to live like Him.
And we do not do this by trying harder to imitate Jesus from a distance. We belong to Christ. His Spirit lives in us. Because of that, the mind of Christ is not only an example in front of us, it is a Spirit-given reality at work within us.
So this week, look for a practical opportunity to choose humility. In fact, pause and pray right now. Ask God how you can put someone else's interests ahead of your own, even if it costs you something.
May the mind of Christ shape our life together.
