Having a Mind of Christ

Listen Later

Last week, we looked at the hard-to-apply idea of “Loving Others as Yourself.” This stems from Paul’s teaching in Philippians 1:27aWhatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.

The idea is great, but the application is hard. The only way that we can love others as ourselves is through the power of the Holy Spirit. We can only receive the Spirit by receiving Christ.

Today is Resurrection Day! My prayer is that each and every one of us recognizes Christ for Who He is today: The Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of the world. As we celebrate this great day, may we seek to have the mind of Christ!

    • Explain how you see a sense of entitlement in society, the church, and in your life.
    • How can we rid ourselves of a sense of entitlement?
