Reflections

Don’t be the snobby rich kid who thinks too highly of herself just because her daddy is rich and powerful. Far too often, Christians can get like this. Yes, our Daddy is the King of kings. Yes, our Daddy has all power and authority. Yes, our Daddy is the God of all creation. But that doesn’t mean we have the right to bully others or look down on others. As Christians we need to have humbleness, the ability to take down our pride to love, forgive, and serve others. This is the mind of Christ.

Philippians 2:3-8 (ESV),

³ Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. ⁴ Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. ⁵ Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, ⁷ but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
