Let This Mind Be In YouPreached 2-22-26 PM | Philippians 2:1–10In Philippians 2, the Apostle Paul calls believers to something deeper than outward religion—he calls us to the very mind of Christ. Unity is urged in verses 1–2, but it is rooted in humility. “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” The Christian life is not about lifting self—it is about lowering self for the glory of God and the good of others.Verses 5–8 bring us to one of the most powerful portraits in all of Scripture. Christ, though equal with God, “made himself of no reputation.” He took upon Him the form of a servant. He humbled Himself. He became obedient unto death—even the death of the cross. Before there was exaltation, there was humiliation. Before the crown, there was a cross.Then in verses 9–10, we see the result of that surrender. “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him…” The name of Jesus is above every name. One day every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.Having the mind of Christ means embracing humility, obedience, and surrender now—trusting that God is the One who exalts in His time. The pathway up in God’s economy is always down.
