Php 2:5 Let this
mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Christ's mind.
Php 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but
every man also on the things of others.
Christ's mind- NOT
looking on his own things, but the things of other. Christ obviously deemed OTHERS more important
than Himself. His entire ministry all
the way to His ultimate death and resurrection was filled with His putting
OTHERS before Himself.
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took
upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men
Christ did NOT make
of Himself any reputation at all. He didn't want any GLORY. He did not tell
people to give Him their best seats, their best food, their best clothes, to
pay Him for all He did for them. Christ didn't want to be made their earthly
king, Christ was their heavenly king! We
are NOT supposed to want glory, not ANY glory! We are to put others FIRST in
all things. To do these things, this is what it means for us to have the mind
of Christ. Christ was a servant, Christ
had the MIND of a SERVANT! We need to be servants, true servants!
The things Christ
did, the things Christ would do, these are the things WE ARE TO DO.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I
am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Meek and lowly in
heart.
Mat 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but
whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Mat 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let
him be your servant:
Mat 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Minister to others.
Luk 22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at
meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as
he that serveth.
Serve.
Joh 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed
your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
Joh 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye
should do as I have done to you.
Serve.
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Do good.
Rom 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as
it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
Please NOT
ourselves.
1Co 10:33 Even as I please all men in all things, not
seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
The profit of
others.
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved
us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour.
Walk in love. Give
of ourselves- all of ourselves.
1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because
Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
steps
Suffer, as Christ
suffered.
1Pe 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us
in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath
suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
1Pe 4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his
time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
Suffer in our flesh.
No longer live to
the lusts of our flesh.
Live to the will of
God.
All, by the grace of
GOD.
