Our Minds — Part 2 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself” (Philippians 2:5,8). In this passage of Scripture (including verses 5-9), we have the whole course of the life of the Lord Jesus, from His coming from heaven to the work of Calvary’s cross, and then His return to heaven as a glorified man. The great truth of these verses is to teach us that the Lord voluntarily humbled Himself in the path of service. Having done this, He is the supreme and perfect example of selflessness and humility for us as we go through life. It has been well said, “All right actions flow from right thinking.” The question then arises, How should we think? The answer is, we need to think like Christ. We are to have the same mind — the same attitude — our whole way of thinking — like His. We are further told, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves” (Philippians 2:3). If we all had this attitude, how many problems and difficulties it would solve! Or, perhaps they would never occur.
