Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus . . . (Philippians 2:5)
If Christians are not mindful, we will be be stumbling block to those our Savior wants to reach. We become a hindrance and grief to the Holy Spirit with our agenda and proclamations, and we will make demands that sinners cannot possibly meet — that we ourselves can’t meet. This is an attitude that Jesus did not possess or display. He never asked or expected that any man would be able to know or please God, but He prayed that men would see God in Him and believe.
Once a man has seen God in Christ and believes, he is on the path to heaven; and as he continues to look to Jesus and place everything upon Him, that man is transformed into the image of the Christ he beholds. He has become a worshiper in spirit and in truth. That is the mindset we need. That is the mindset that pleases God.
Let’s Pray — Precious Lord, thank You for the Mind of Jesus Christ. May my reality be based on the knowledge of Christ and no one else. Jesus is enough. Amen.
