Have This Mind

In our series "Your Best Life Ever Now," we arrive at Philippians 2:5-11. It is one of the most beautiful and profound descriptions of who Jesus is and what he chose to do for us. It also describes how God the Father honors what his Son went through for us. It starts in heaven, comes down to all the ugliness of the earth, and returns to the heavens. This is what our Savior did, what he chose to do. What kind of God humbles himself like that? He's a God of lavish love, unthinkable authority, and unimaginable glory. Jesus lets go of all that was his, empties himself, humbles himself, and dies on a cross, for us. We're told that we should "have the mind of Christ." God intends to help us with this.
