Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus . . . (Philippians 2:5)
If we are not mindful, we will become an obstacle to those our Savior wants to reach. We can become a hindrance and grief to the Holy Spirit with our religious agenda and proclamations, and we will make demands that sinners cannot meet — that we ourselves cannot meet. Jesus never had this attitude. He never expected anyone to please God, but He prayed that we would see God in Him and believe.
Once we see God in Christ and believe in Him, we are on the path to heaven; and as we continue to look to Jesus and trust Him, we are changed into His image. Then, God gives us a heavenly perspective, and we can worship God in spirit and in truth. That is the mindset that pleases God. That is the mindset we need.
Let’s Pray — Precious Lord, thank You for the Mind of Jesus Christ. May my reality be based on the knowledge of Christ and nothing else. Jesus is enough. Amen.
