Thinking Like Jesus
SCRIPTURE: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5
The Lord Jesus Christ came into the world not just to die for us, but also to identify with us. He exampled the supreme demonstration of humility. The only way that God’s people can experience unity in the body of Christ is through the attitude of humility. So “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5)
And what mind is that? Christ had the mind of humility. The words “let this mind be” are the translation of one Greek word which means, “to have understanding to be wise, to direct one’s mind to a thing, to seek or strive for.” The word seems always to keep in view the direction of a practical kind of thought. For instance:
“Be constantly thinking this in yourselves;”
“Be having this mind in you;”
“Reflect in your own minds, the mind of Christ Jesus” (Lightfoot);
“Let the same purpose inspire you as was in Christ Jesus” (Way) (Logos).
PRAYER: My Precious ABBA, thank You for working in us through the power of the Holy Spirit to will and to do for Your good pleasure. May we choose to have the mind of Christ and grow in the knowledge of His will.

Amen!
Amen sister Cheryl ??
Amen! Amen, Sis.! We're called to die daily to ourselves--our former thought patterns, attitudes, behaviors--essentially Romans 12:2. Thank you for this necessary reminder.
