The mind of Christ

Read

³ Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. ⁴ Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. ⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: ⁶ Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: ⁷ But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: ⁸ And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Reflect

Paul asks believers to look also on the things of others, then points to Christ, who 'made himself of no reputation,' took the form of a servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross. Humility follows his example.

Pray

Christ Jesus, you humbled yourself for us. Loosen my need to be seen, and help me care about what matters to others. Amen.
