Philippians 2:5

So, what was Jesus’ attitude toward the world? He set aside the glories of heaven and came to us on a radical rescue mission! He entered fully into our world and took on the entirety of our humanity. After a long season of hanging out with tax collectors and sinners, he humbled himself by giving himself over to the worst kind of death on our behalf – crucifixion. The attitude of Jesus that is to be in us is this: that we set aside our preferences and even die to our rights in order to love others sacrificially. Yes, friend, Christianity is about radical love! It starts with Jesus’ love for you and me, and then it extends outward as Jesus loves others through us. As we love others with His love. This is genuine humility on display, thinking of yourself less and others more!

PASSAGE: Philippians 2:5 - "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus!"

PAUSE: Our lives should model the life of Christ. Christ Jesus is our one example. Christ was humble, kind, and loving. He did not think of himself first but always thought of others first. Life is not about me; it is about others. 

PRAYER: Father, keep me humble. Help me to focus on Christ as my example. Forgive me for my selfish thoughts, and help me to love others well today.
